Rebecca Wedel, LCSW

Rebecca Wedel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people cope with life’s hard moments. She emphasizes building a strong working relationship first and then chooses methods that fit each person's needs. Rebecca draws on nine years of clinical experience and everyday life lessons to guide conversations and decision making.

She commonly draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when people want to build values-based goals and learn to tolerate difficult feelings. Client-centered and mindfulness work appear in sessions when the focus is on listening, acceptance, and present-moment awareness.

Rebecca has worked in a range of settings, including medical and surgical units, inpatient psychiatry, rehab, and high-risk pregnancy support. That background informs her approach to grief, trauma, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and end-of-life issues. She also helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, and transitions like retirement or children leaving home.

In sessions she offers practical tools, clear explanations, and time to talk through feelings and choices. She understands the stress of repeated moves and family transitions and aims to make treatment useful for everyday life. Rebecca also supports caregivers navigating aging and hospice-related challenges.

Outside of work she enjoys yoga, gardening, mindfulness practice, and college basketball. She speaks English and is available to work with people in Texas and internationally by online formats.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy appears when the goal is to clarify values and learn practical ways to move toward meaningful goals despite difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening-focused foundation that supports people who need space to process and be heard.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca helps clients compare methods and decide what fits their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is and isn’t helping, so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option or a way to check in when a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
