About Rebecca
Rebecca Davis is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with nine years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and stress. Rebecca aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed.
Rebecca’s style is warm and direct. She focuses on helping clients build communication skills and manage intense emotions. Sessions often include steady pacing, clear goals, and tools to use between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered talk with skill-based work from cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavior strategies. She also uses elements of mindfulness and emotionally-focused work when helpful. This mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs in the moment.
Rebecca has supported people dealing with abandonment issues, attachment concerns, body image struggles, substance use, chronic illness, family of origin problems, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma. She also addresses stress related to blended family dynamics and adoption or foster care histories.
In sessions clients learn practical strategies for mood management, coping with grief, and reducing avoidance that keeps anxiety alive. Rebecca encourages small experiments and steady practice so progress feels attainable. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space so clients can find their own solutions; it is helpful for people who need acceptance and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be useful for intense mood swings and overwhelming emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts the mix over time based on what works in session and what clients report between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets therapists read facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text can support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or steady contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
