About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a licensed mental health counselor (MA LMHC) and a Texas licensed professional counselor (TX LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, mood concerns, and relationship or family difficulties. Rebecca also works with people facing chronic pain, codependency, isolation, and life transitions.
She uses an eclectic, practical approach in sessions. Rebecca draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Therapy. In plain terms she listens to the story someone brings, then shows straightforward skills and exercises that fit that person's goals.
Sessions often focus on reducing overwhelming feelings with concrete tools. That can include thought records, behavior experiments, mindfulness practices, or step-by-step plans for coping with cravings, grief, or anger. She pays attention to how patterns such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no keep problems going, and works on small changes that add up.
Rebecca has worked in different settings over her career and brings practical experience to complex situations like co-occurring conditions, immigration stress, and compassion fatigue. She explains options clearly and helps people choose manageable next steps.
To begin, she asks for a short intake to understand immediate concerns and goals. From there she and the client pick the methods and pace that make sense for that person's life and schedule.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that match those values. It helps when someone feels stuck or pulled between other people's needs and their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practises to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them, which can reduce reactivity to stress or cravings.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to try techniques and see what helps toward their goals. She adjusts plans based on how well skills fit daily life and what feels doable week to week.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before scheduling, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, sessions without requiring travel, or options that do not need video if that helps with focus or bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or mindfulness exercises to work well over distance while keeping the focus on practical skills and steps for change.
