Rebecca Shaughnessy, LPC

Rebecca Shaughnessy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of clinical experience based in Alabama. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, mood disorders, and codependency concerns among other issues. Sessions are described as collaborative and client-centered.

Rebecca uses straightforward conversations to help people identify next steps. She avoids telling someone to simply try harder and instead helps name patterns that lead to feeling stuck. Practical tools and short-term strategies are mixed with space to talk about painful experiences.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and solution-focused methods. That means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, decide what matters to them, and take small, concrete steps toward those values. She also uses solution-focused moves to set clear, achievable goals.

Rebecca commonly supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, panic, OCD, and challenges tied to parenting, work, or life transitions. She also lists focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, midlife concerns, and financial stress. Conversations may look at patterns that connect current distress to past experiences.

Getting started begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Rebecca describes therapy as a collaborative effort where small steps add up. If someone wants help sorting through anxiety, codependency patterns, or grief, she invites them to begin by selecting the online therapy options and completing the intake steps.
