About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, and grief. Rebecca aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn right away.
She believes people already have strengths they can build on. In sessions she listens first, then helps set clear, short-term goals. That might mean learning ways to manage intense feelings, changing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing small behavior changes that reduce stress.
Background and approach
Rebecca uses a mix of proven approaches. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan.
Her background includes a Master of Arts and licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor. Rebecca has worked with people facing complicated life transitions, chronic health concerns, and issues like codependency, substance use, and isolation. Sessions aim to teach skills as well as explore what matters most to the person.
Rebecca supports people who want concrete tools for mood, sleep, anger, and coping with change. She practices in Massachusetts and conducts work in English.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and then taking committed action toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and making changes that align with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Clients and the therapist choose techniques collaboratively and adjust them over time to fit changing needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while using approaches like ACT and CBT in everyday life.
