Approach-driven online therapy that focuses on relationships and skills

Rebecca often draws on attachment-based work, which looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand why they repeat certain interaction styles and supports building more secure ways of relating.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. The aim is to find what fits the client’s needs and helps them make steady progress.
