Rebecca WedelLCSW

Rebecca Wedel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on building a strong working relationship first. She emphasizes listening and understanding before choosing a method to address each person's concerns. Rebecca writes plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.

She uses practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are chosen to match the problem at hand, whether someone is coping with anxiety, depression, grief, or a history of trauma and abuse.

Rebecca has nine years of clinical experience and has worked in medical, psychiatric, and rehab settings. She has also supported people through high-risk pregnancy and miscarriage experiences and has spent recent time helping caregivers manage the demands of elder care along with parenting responsibilities.

Rebecca often helps people dealing with relationship strain, family of origin issues, substance concerns, body image and eating-related struggles, and life changes such as fertility stress or the transition when children leave home. She aims to make sessions practical, offering tools for stress, anger, and low self-esteem while also talking through values, priorities, and next steps.

Outside of work she enjoys yoga, gardening, mindfulness practice, and college basketball. She welcomes questions and prefers to match her approach to each person's needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people name their values and take small, practical steps toward them while tolerating difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work; it means sessions focus on the person’s experience, paced by their needs and driven by active listening. This approach helps people feel heard and better able to sort through choices and emotions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. CBT offers clear strategies for depression, anxiety, eating-related concerns, and coping with grief or relationship strain. Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will help each person decide which methods to use based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for caregivers or those juggling appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered work, and CBT to an online setting and tailor sessions to focus on skills practice, emotional processing, or planning next steps based on what each person needs.
