About Rebecca

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Rebecca also lists concerns such as codependency, ADHD, relationship and family strain, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.

She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s priorities central. Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused methods, and elements of acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. This means conversations often center on practical steps, noticing thoughts and behaviors, and building skills that help day-to-day functioning.

Clients can expect straightforward discussion about what is causing stress and what small changes might help. Rebecca aims to help people recognize patterns that lead to overwhelm and to try manageable alternatives. Work can include short-term problem solving or longer conversations about painful experiences and grief.

Her practice emphasizes respect for each person’s background and goals. Rebecca describes herself as nonjudgmental and focuses on helping people move toward clearer priorities and healthier habits. She schedules evening and weekend appointments to fit different routines.

Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Rebecca uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with values. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living in ways they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that get in the way of daily life.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. Clients often try a mix of approaches for practical skill building and longer-term processing, and the plan can change as needs shift.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules by removing travel time and allowing sessions during evenings or weekends. It also supports brief check-ins, focused skill practice between meetings, and flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or irregular hours.
