Rebecca McDow, LPC

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or major life changes. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward.

She uses straightforward talking, goal-setting, and evidence-based tools to help clients manage symptoms and make daily life easier. Rebecca combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered listening to shape each plan. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there.

With 18 years of experience, Rebecca has supported people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating struggles, anger, and ADHD. She also helps people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, midlife questions, and relationship or family concerns from an individual perspective. Her background includes long-term work with adult clients across varied challenges.

Rebecca offers a practical approach that blends skill-building and personal reflection. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify values that matter to them. Progress is tracked with achievable tasks and ongoing adjustment of goals.

Evening and weekend appointments are part of her schedule to fit busy lives. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that works for the client.

How her approaches work online

Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating problems. CBT focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions to make everyday life feel more manageable.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that matter, even when difficult feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy is a guiding stance in her work where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will review goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what fits a client’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible options. Video is useful for focused sessions and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
