02 · In Rebecca's own words

What Rebecca says about the work

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

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I come to you as a SC licensed professional counselor having 25 years experience. I have worked with a wide variety of disorders as well as individuals who just need support through a difficult season of life. As you are seeking counseling, I commend you for your courage. Are you interested in functioning better with anxiety, depression, mood shifts, hurt, anger, grief, and stress in your life? Do you have unresolved childhood or past adult experiences that affect you still today? Have you tried talking to counselors in the past without much improvement? Have you found talk therapy produced few results?? I take the approach of dealing with root not just the fruit to address issues; yet often we need to help you manage the day to day fruit in your life of the past. Do not be afraid nor discouraged; there is hope! Whether you experienced such things as a chaotic childhood, invalidation, abuse, toxic/manipulative relationships, and/or PTSD, there are ways to obtain closure. I find helping others with these challenges to be my passion! With research-proven treatment modalities we can process to develop skills and insight that will aid you in moving forward to healthier relationships and day to day life contentment. I commend you for the vulnerability to seek counseling as this is not easy. I look forward to partnering with you in a relationship that includes an ongoing dialog of how we are doing and adjustments as your needs change. I look forward to helping you move from surviving to thriving!

03 · How Rebecca works

The 7 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.

Acceptance and Commitment TherapyACT

Rather than trying to argue a painful thought away, ACT works on loosening its grip and getting on with what matters to you anyway. Sessions spend real time naming your values, then building action around them while difficult feelings are still present.

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.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and ReprocessingEMDR

A structured trauma protocol in which you hold a distressing memory in mind while following a repeated side-to-side cue. The mechanism is still debated; the outcome data in post-traumatic stress is strong enough that it appears in national treatment guidelines.

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.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

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.

• “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.

• “With 26 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “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.
