About Rebecca
Rebecca Westgate is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Indiana with nine years of clinical experience.

Her background includes extensive clinical work with people affected by trauma and related emotional challenges. She draws on methods that aim to reduce intense reactions, process difficult memories, and build everyday coping skills. Rebecca also integrates brief solution-oriented work when appropriate to help clients make concrete changes quickly.
In sessions she pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns. That helps when social situations, trust, or feelings of isolation contribute to anxiety or low mood. She supports clients in learning how thoughts, behaviors, and memories interact so they can respond differently to stressors.
Rebecca speaks English and practices in Indiana. She uses approaches rooted in research and adjusts them to a client's needs during their work together. To begin, clients typically complete a short intake and set initial goals to guide further sessions.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Rebecca works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage trauma and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Trauma work focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and reactions, and it helps people develop practical coping strategies for stress and social anxiety. Motivational Interviewing aims to clarify a person's own goals and increase their motivation to try new behaviors; it can be useful for making changes when motivation feels low.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adjust techniques as progress is made. The process is interactive and based on what a client finds helpful in practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use shorter sessions when that helps with concentration or bandwidth. Licensed professionals like her aim to match methods and logistics to what works best for each person.
