Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca Smith commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - it is helpful for building self-esteem and processing difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and coping strategies that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca collaborates with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so therapy remains practical and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and daily demands.
