Rebecca Harjo, LPC

Rebecca Harjo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people when stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or low self-esteem make life harder. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals so progress feels real and measurable.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered care and other methods to match each person’s needs. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and practice new skills between sessions. She also uses techniques geared toward processing traumatic memories when that is needed.

Rebecca aims for short-term, goal-focused work when appropriate, and slower, deeper work when someone needs it. She draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to identify immediate next steps. The pace is set by the client and their goals.

Over eight years she has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment worries, relationship and communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, and the effects of domestic violence or separation. Her background helps her tailor sessions to complex and overlapping issues.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in ways that fit daily life. Rebecca encourages people to bring their real-world challenges into sessions so they can practice new skills between meetings and track what works.

How Rebecca uses practical approaches online

Rebecca often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions begin with listening and understanding the client's experience. That approach helps people feel heard and decide their own goals while the therapist follows their lead.

When trauma memories are part of the picture, Rebecca may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help reduce the emotional intensity of those memories. EMDR techniques aim to make painful memories easier to tolerate so people can move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss options, try methods that match a person’s goals, and adjust based on how the client responds. The process is collaborative and paced to individual needs.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can feel simpler for check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide quick touchpoints and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical change and progress.
