Welcome! My name is Becky and I have been working in mental health for the past seven years. I have my Clinical degree in Social Work and hold my independent license in Minnesota and Colorado. My therapeutic approach is very person centered; you lead your therapy, I just assist you on along the way. I tailor my approach to your specific diagnoses and needs. I utilize multiple treatment modalities depending on what your therapy centers around and what you would like to work on.
You will find that I am nonjudgmental, welcoming and easy to talk to.
I have experience with trauma, anxieties, depression, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, gender identity, as well as substance use disorders.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have loved working with Rebecca. She always responds in a timely manner and has helped me greatly. It is nice to have her to talk to.
It's very early in our counseling relationship, but Becky has been nothing but supportive, understanding and I'm very comfortable confiding in her. I hope she can help me in my journey. It's been a good start so far.
Becky is great!
Rebecca is amazing. She checks in on me if I haven't sent a message in a few days even if I had been doing really well during our last interaction. I have always left our video sessions feeling energized and lighter than before. Rebecca is so encouraging, supportive, and validating. I am immensely grateful to have her guiding me through my healing journey.
Becky helps me navigate my grief and depression. It's very reassuring to have someone there especially during the pandemic. I've been recommending Better Help to my friends!
Rebecca has been great! I have been apart of better help for almost 6 months now and I have enjoyed every minute! Rebecca responds in a timely manner and always makes me feel heard. I love having this service. It takes the worry and wait out of therapy. When I need further help, I jump on, write my concerns or whatever I am struggling with at the time, and before I know it, I have a response from my counselor. Right away Rebecca recommended some worksheets and assignments to work on to help with the issues I was struggling with. I am very pleased!!
I really appreciate that Rebecca checks in on me. Thank you so much!
I was very apprehensive about seeking counseling. I fought my struggles internally for years and years. I knew early on that it would be more difficult to start therapy face to face. Usually betterhelp has given me the comfort to be more open than I ever thought I could be, and I've made so much progress on such little time! There are things that come up during the day that just need to be talked about in that moment, and holding onto them until the next appointment would be difficult. Having counseling available in real time has given me a flexibility that has really worked for me! Rebecca is AWESOME, and really gets me!
Very helpful thus far.
Rebecca is so helpful and very easy to talk to!
Rebecca has been great. She responds quickly and effectively.
Rebecca's great! I think I really lucked out getting such a caring and attentive counselor! She's great, and well informed about a lot of topics.
Becky made me feel comfortable with counseling from the start! She is amazing at what she does!
Rebecca has been extremely helpful and understanding, especially as my needs have shifted during my time speaking with her. Talking with her has given me new perspectives and effective strategies for dealing with my challenges.
Rebecca is very attentive. I don't know how she remembers everything I'm going through when she has many other clients. She caring and gives me ideas to work through things that I hadn't thought of before.
It's been a great experience!
She’s very patient and understanding. She was able to understand my perspective and side of things once I was able to explain clearly.
Rebecca exceeded my expectations for communication with unexpected check-ins, attentiveness and amazing listening skills. We discuss everything under the sun and I feel completely respected.
So far sessions are going well. I am learning things about myself that I didn't know which is helping me figure out how to address multiple issues.
Becky is warm and easy to talk to. She listened objectively and offered exercises and activities to work toward goals. I have only had one session but I'm looking forward to the next.
I have been happy in knowing that I can talk with someone in a private setting at times that work so much better with my 50+ hour work weeks. In the short time I've been working with Rebecca I feel better in more ways than I thought and I look forward to the future with her.
I have a lot of high stressors happening in my life right now, it has been extremely beneficial to have someone from the outside looking in to help me see what I do not and be able to have someone helping guide me through it. I appreciate being able to have a constant conversation and send a message when it is most convenient. I have a busy life right now and knowing I have someone to talk too (if I need too) every day has made me feel less alone and capable of achieving my goals
