About Rebecca
Rebecca St. James works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or life transitions. She is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, and brings four years of clinical experience to each session.
Rebecca speaks plain language and aims to make therapy feel doable for people who are worried or unsure about starting. She focuses on helping people manage mood challenges like depression, bipolar symptoms, panic, and seasonal affective disorder.
Background and approach
Rebecca also supports those coping with grief, trauma, postpartum concerns, and major life changes. Parenting concerns, body image, self-esteem, and issues around guilt or isolation are part of her day-to-day work. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.
She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to build plans that fit each person’s life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are also used when helpful to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Sessions start by identifying small, practical goals and steps.
Rebecca helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, try new coping skills, and practice choices that match their values. She emphasizes strengths and keeps explanations simple so homework and practice feel manageable. Rebecca is based in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
She offers a supportive, respectful space and works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. If someone wants a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to handling anger, stress, or mood challenges, she aims to make the process clear and understandable.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anger, anxiety, and making changes that matter in daily life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for depression, panic, and mood symptoms because it breaks problems into clear, testable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your goals, preferences, and the problems you bring. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you have fuller conversations, phone can be a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging support shorter or ongoing contact between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can use therapy in ways that work for their schedule and comfort.
