Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Rebecca often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how past events and relationships shape current identity, and it can help with issues like grief, abandonment, and family of origin concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where the person’s goals lead the work. That means sessions focus on what the client most wants to change and the therapist follows their pace and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used as needed, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and managing intense emotions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and comfort. She checks in regularly and adapts tools when something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when conversation and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps focus. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or a quick way to track progress. These options help fit therapy into busy routines and make consistent work easier.
