Rebecca Stallworth, LCSW

Rebecca Stallworth is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD concerns, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Cantonese.

Rebecca uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She leans on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment techniques, and attachment-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and strengthen important relationships. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches when helpful.

Her background includes extensive work in trauma recovery, grief counseling, and both individual and group psychotherapy. She has long experience supporting veterans with military-related trauma and transition concerns in clinical settings. Rebecca emphasizes people’s strengths when helping them set and meet goals.

In a typical session she helps people name what matters, set small steps, and practice skills between meetings. She focuses on clear tools people can use day to day for mood, sleep, or worry. She also talks through coping strategies for parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, and issues like codependency or communication problems.

Rebecca makes space for exploring attachment wounds, feelings of emptiness, and the impacts of abandonment or loss. Her approach aims to help people feel more able to take action, manage intense emotions, and move toward a clearer sense of purpose.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Rebecca often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change mood and daily habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday worries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and to take actions that match their values; it helps when pain or uncertainty makes decision making hard. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current trust and communication.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, history, and comfort level. That collaborative process includes checking in on what helps and adjusting the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging works well for shorter check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular work on goals while juggling daily life.
