Sessions often include skill-building and simple exercises to use at home.

Rebecca pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and communication issues affect daily life. She also helps with body image, caregiver stress, grief, and sleep or eating concerns. Her work includes addressing addiction patterns and the isolation that can come with chronic distress.

How Rebecca Uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Rebecca often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse. CBT focuses on practical techniques and homework tasks that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT provides clear strategies for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication. Mindfulness therapy complements both approaches by teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to figure out what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
