I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 23 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

"True success is the predictable result of hard work, patience, sacrifice & learning put into practice everyday." - Unknown Hey there! Thank you for sliding on past my profile and the above quote is essential to not only my mindset in how I approach everyday as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but also how I want to assist in creating a space for my clients. I am currently based in Pennsylvania & have over 10 years of experience working with an array of clients. I have helped many from young adults to older adults take a deep dive within themselves to challenge thoughts, perspectives and beliefs that create a mental and emotional limitation on becoming a more empowered and improved version of themselves. My goal is to respectfully challenge and guide clientele to look within themselves since they are the best expert on their own life and choices so that they can discover the innate skills and abilities that can take them to higher heights within their situations and lives.

I am a bilingual therapist with over 10 years of experience. I bring a culturally grounded, compassionate lens to my work with individuals from all walks of life. I have extensive experience across a wide range of evidence-based and insight-oriented modalities, and I tailor therapy to meet you exactly where you are. My goal is to ensure you feel genuinely seen and heard, and create a space that is safe. I would describe myself as an eclectic therapist as I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. I use psychodynamic principles to help uncover early relational patterns, unconscious beliefs, and internal dynamics that may be influencing your present experience. For many years, I have specialized in Cognitive Processing Therapy —particularly with Veterans working through trauma-related symptoms. My approach is always trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally sensitive, focusing on helping clients process and shift painful beliefs rooted in traumatic experiences. I also like to integrate mindfulness-based strategies to guide individuals in exploring and processing challenging emotions, empowering them to develop healthier coping mechanisms. No matter your background or what brings you to therapy, you deserve support that feels affirming and effective. My role is to walk beside you as you explore healing, growth, and meaningful change.

114 Court St NE...
I currently offer in-person sessions only at my office in Abingdon, Virginia. I'm Rebecca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) provider. I specialize in working with young women and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating complex trauma, addiction, and nervous system overwhelm. My practice is intentionally focused on clients who feel stuck, disconnected, or burnt out from traditional talk therapy. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices like EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I bring deep respect for the ways we learn to survive—and a gentle curiosity for what healing might look like when survival mode softens. Sessions with me are collaborative and honest, and I strive to create a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and attuned to your unique needs. For clients who feel blocked, numb, or unable to access deeper parts of themselves, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as a complementary option. In partnership with Journey Clinical, I provide preparation, dosing, and integration sessions for clients who are medically cleared for ketamine treatment. KAP isn’t a magic fix, but it can help open emotional pathways that traditional therapy sometimes can’t reach on its own. Healing with me isn’t about figuring out what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about understanding what happened to you, and how your system learned to adapt. The work we do together is about coming home to yourself with compassion, safety, and a sense of agency.
