Rebecca Smith, LMHC, LPC

Rebecca Smith is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and mood concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable for someone juggling family life, work, and difficult emotions.

She draws on 16 years of experience as a mental health professional and holds MA LMHC and TX LPC credentials. Rebecca focuses on identifying small, achievable steps clients can take between sessions to reduce distress and build daily routines that feel more steady.

Her style blends structured techniques with listening that centers each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also brings in acceptance and mindfulness skills to help people handle strong feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Sessions often include practical skill-building - such as breathing practices, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving for immediate challenges. Rebecca can help people manage sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and the stress that comes with illness or big life changes.

She also works with concerns related to trauma, codependency, addiction, and family conflict by combining several methods to fit each person's situation. Rebecca emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set clear short-term goals and track progress over time.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rebecca commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values, which can help with grief, addiction, and life transitions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps clarify what techniques help most, and adjustments can be made over time based on what is helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills together and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, between-session coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs, while keeping the focus on skills and progress.
