About Rebecca
Rebecca Sperber is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression. Rebecca speaks English and practices in California.
Her approach centers on connecting how relationships and early attachment patterns affect current behavior and feelings. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past bonds shape present reactions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing strong emotions.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Rebecca uses client-centered principles to keep the conversation on what matters most to the person in the room. She helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and builds skills for handling stress, cravings, or difficult interactions.
Rebecca has decades of experience supporting people through life transitions and long-term difficulties. That background includes work around abandonment, attachment concerns, and communication problems, as well as issues linked to chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, codependency, and commitment worries.
People who want to start usually complete a short intake and then set goals for sessions together. Rebecca adapts pacing and methods based on the client’s needs and the problems they bring. If you are looking for steady, experienced clinical support for anxiety, relationships, or substance concerns, she offers a methodical, relationship-focused way of working.
How attachment and CBT work in online sessions
Rebecca commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence how people relate now, helping identify patterns that repeat in stress or intimacy problems. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and avoidance.She also draws on client-centered principles so the sessions stay focused on each person's priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together; Rebecca will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may work better for quieter conversations while others suit longer skill-building work, so discuss preferences when you schedule to match the approach to your routine.
