About Rebecca

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and challenges related to relationships and life changes.

Rebecca keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions often focus on skills for managing strong emotions, building routines, and tackling avoidance that gets in the way of daily life.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and solution-focused methods. That means she may help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and try small experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Rebecca has spent nearly two decades helping adults who are adjusting after loss, dealing with trauma or abuse, or managing ongoing stress from work or caregiving. She also supports people facing issues like impulsivity, codependency, chronic illness, and midlife questions.

Practical matters are part of her approach. She helps clients set clear, achievable goals and tracks progress over time. To get started, readers are asked to follow the site's matching process and schedule an initial session to review concerns and planning.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Texas. Cost varies by location and is handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that align with those values, which can help with avoidance and social fears. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify patterns and try practical experiments to reduce anxious responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is tracked. That collaborative selection helps keep sessions focused and relevant to daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or busy schedules. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options that avoid travel time or make it simpler to practice skills between meetings.
