What Rebecca says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Welcome! My name is Rebecca (Becky) Dries. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health in the state of Delaware. I received my Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia (CACREP accredited program). During my time at Mercer I was an active member of the Chi Sigma Iota Counseling Academic & Professional Honor Society International, Mu Upsilon Alpha Chapter. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). I have 5 years of clinical experience working with a diverse population of adult clients of all ages. I specialize in working with individuals with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness diagnosis such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Personality Disorders as well as providing crisis intervention. I am also experienced in working with Depression, Anxiety, Complex Trauma and LGBTQ individuals. I am passionate about social justice issues and access to quality mental health treatment for all individuals, that is inclusive and multi-culturally informed. I approach the counseling relationship primarily from a Person-Centered perspective and believe in meeting the client where they are and accepting them unconditionally. Upon working with a client, I tailor my approach based on the client's needs and incorporate elements of several therapeutic models including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy and Feminist Theory. I have also received training in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Trauma Informed therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

03 · How Rebecca works

The 5 approaches Rebecca lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Rebecca lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Rebecca's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Rebecca runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Trauma-Focused TherapyTF-CBT · trauma-informed

CBT adapted for people whose difficulty is rooted in a frightening or overwhelming event. Pacing is the point: safety and stabilisation come first, the memory itself is approached gradually and only when you are ready, and the aim is that recalling it stops hijacking the present.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Rebecca practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rebecca's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rebecca at this point.

2. Naming Rebecca specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rebecca is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rebecca.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Rebecca

Built from what Rebecca actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rebecca's - Rebecca has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Rebecca's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Rebecca. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
