About Becky
Becky Loving is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience based in Oregon. She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and has built practice experience helping people who feel stuck by depression, stress, anxiety, career challenges, and concerns about eating or body image. Becky uses a person-centered style.
She listens first, then helps each person decide what to try next. She combines several practical methods to match what a person needs, and she invites feedback about what is or is not working in sessions.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for those dealing with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and problems that stem from family of origin. Becky also addresses communication struggles, control issues, emptiness, and forgiveness work when those come up in therapy.
Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. She draws on those approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and build skills for everyday life. Becky aims to make therapy collaborative and straightforward.
She welcomes clear communication about goals and prefers to tailor sessions to a person’s pace and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life direction concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and challenges with mood and eating-related thoughts.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a technique aimed at reducing the intensity of upsetting memories and the thoughts that keep them active. It can be offered when trauma or deeply distressing events are part of a person's history.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Becky will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. She encourages collaboration so the plan can change as you see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose the format that feels most effective for you.
