About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with four years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and related concerns. Rebekah also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and codependency.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people sort out what matters to them. Sessions focus on naming what is hard, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes to test what helps. Rebekah draws on several approaches to guide that work, including cognitive behavioral ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past and current relationships shape reactions now. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Client-centered listening is part of how she makes room for each person’s priorities.
Rebekah has worked with adults facing family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and substance-related problems. She also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disasters and those managing compassion fatigue.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She invites clients to try concrete skills and to evaluate what is changing. To begin, clients follow the site’s intake steps to see online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and for people who repeatedly put others first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change mood and functioning. CBT is often helpful for stress, worry, sleep and eating issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide whether to focus more on skills practice, exploring attachment patterns, or increasing willingness to act on values, and they adjust as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, audio-only setup is preferable. The therapist will explain the practical steps for scheduling and maintaining a consistent plan during the first meeting.
