How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often task-focused and can include worksheets, behavior experiments, and step-by-step plans that translate well to conversations online.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. ACT can support coping with midlife decisions, grief, or chronic stress by teaching values-based choices and practical acceptance skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. She checks in and adjusts strategies so the work feels useful and realistic.
