About Rebecca
Rebecca Stallworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and related life stresses, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she addresses. Rebecca speaks English and Cantonese and has experience supporting clients through grief, relationship problems, addiction, and caregiving stress.
Rebecca uses practical, talk-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed ideas to examine values and patterns in relationships.
Her background includes many years of individual and group psychotherapy work, and experience with trauma recovery after physical and emotional abuse. She has provided counseling at a VA medical facility, including work with women veterans on military sexual trauma and transition concerns. That experience informs her approach to trauma and transitional stress.
In sessions Rebecca focuses on building strengths and practical coping tools. She helps people set clear goals, try new habits, and address communication or control issues that affect daily life. She also offers support for sleep, eating, and work-related stress.
People can expect straightforward, skill-based conversations about what is getting in the way of everyday functioning. Rebecca works collaboratively to identify steps clients can try between sessions and to track what helps over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and accept difficult feelings while taking small steps toward meaningful goals. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to notice relationship patterns and improve communication and connection.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide which methods to try first, and she adjusts plans based on what the client finds useful. Sessions often combine skill practice, brief exercises, and problem-solving tailored to the person's day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule or let someone focus on skills practice without extra commuting. Ask about language options and any format details when scheduling so sessions match practical needs.
