About Rebecca
Rebecca Shaughnessy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of experience based in Alabama. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and related struggles such as OCD and panic. Rebecca aims for clear, collaborative sessions that focus on practical steps rather than jargon.
Her approach centers on client-centered work and evidence-informed methods. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them set small, manageable goals. Sessions often focus on recognizing unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of responding to hard moments.
Rebecca uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and test different behaviors. She also draws on Solution-Focused ideas to identify what is already working and build on it. The methods are used together, not as rigid rules, and are adjusted based on how a person responds.
People meet Rebecca to work on many issues from relationship strain and parenting stress to career concerns and addiction-related problems. She also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and first responder or veteran-related challenges. Discussions move at a practical pace and focus on what changes feel doable.
Initial contacts begin with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Rebecca does not accept international clients.
How Rebecca uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are hard to sit with. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical experiments to test new ways of coping. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small changes that can produce noticeable improvement in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative decision is revisited as needed so the plan stays relevant and realistic.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The practice uses a subscription model for fees that can be canceled at any time. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and avoid travel time, letting people try practical adjustments without major schedule changes.
