Rebecca is a responsive, supportive and thoughtful counselor who gives me tangible goals each session and listens attentively. She asks great questions to dig deeper and is flexible on scheduling, which is so helpful with two young kiddos at home. I’ve really enjoyed working with her!

Rebecca is the best therapist I've had in 20 years of therapy. She's thoughtful and I get the sense she genuinely cares about me. I feel like I can be myself with her, which is not something I feel very often.

Life can be hard. Work can be hard. Relationships can be hard. You don't have to handle all of it on your own. Getting help means you are strong; it means you are courageous; it means you are smart. I would like to help you. I want to help you remember how to care for yourself; help you learn new skills about communication and being in relationships; help you feel better.
I view my clients as the ultimate expert on themselves and their lives. I help guide them, possibly teach them if that's what they need, and partner with them as they move toward feeling well, healthy, and whole. I have significant experience with adolescents and young adults.
I specialize in grief and loss (as well as other issues) and believe everyone's journey through that process is unique. My treatment approach with other concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues and life changes will begin with discovering where you are in the process and then in a very client-centered and strengths-based way, together we will utilize the techniques and theoretical lenses I have developed in my 15 years in practice.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rebecca is the best therapist I've had in 20 years of therapy. She's thoughtful and I get the sense she genuinely cares about me. I feel like I can be myself with her, which is not something I feel very often.
Rebecca is a wonderful, compassionate, incredibly resourceful, and well-educated therapist. Her wealth of knowledge combined with her depth of intuition and grace is everything I could ever hope for and more. She is truly an incredible support system. I could not be more grateful for being connected with her, especially virtually, in order to have her continued support during these unprecedented times. Highly highly recommend.
I've only had 1 video session with Rebecca so far but instantly felt comfortable with her and confident in her demeanor, expertise, and her presence. She is very responsive and has already provided multiple methods of support. I highly recommend her and appreciate her so far.
She is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with and I am so grateful for her.
Rebecca is an amazing therapist. I came to her at a time of crisis and she helped me get through a really difficult spot. She is kind, compassionate and very understanding. Overall excellent therapist.
Rebecca’s empathetic style is so gentle and welcoming that I forget we are not in the same room when we video chat. She is genuinely caring, compassionate and highly skilled at giving advice and suggestions in a nurturing and encouraging way. I would highly recommend Rebecca’s services.
Very kind, and supportive. Seems genuine with her want to help.
I was so glad to be paired with Rebecca. She is accommodating of my schedule, gets back to me in a timely manner, encouraged me to use the chat and other ways to communicate, and has the experience as a counselor (as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker) I was looking for. She takes the time to listen, is very encouraging and helpful in practical day to day living, personable, warm, kind, and like a cheerleader for me. It’s comforting to know she’s in my corner, wants to see me do well and has the skills to help me in my progress as a human being. So glad to BetterHelp. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
