About Rebecca
Rebecca Hackett is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, and life changes. Parents and adults turn to her when day-to-day functioning feels hard and emotions get overwhelming.
She starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Rebecca aims to address the root of problems while also teaching skills to manage everyday symptoms.
Background and approach
Her work includes practical tools for sleep, anger, cravings, and relationship strain. Rebecca has worked across many concerns over a long career, including addiction, bipolar mood shifts, caregiver stress, and attachment or abandonment wounds. She also supports people facing blended family challenges, divorce, or aging-related stress.
Her background means she brings a wide perspective to complicated situations. In sessions she uses clear, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, and mindfulness practices. For trauma that continues to cause distress, she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
Rebecca combines skill coaching with conversations about meaning and values. She welcomes people who want a collaborative relationship. Expect focused work on goals, regular check-ins about progress, and adjustments as life changes.
Rebecca helps people move from surviving toward more manageable, meaningful days.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps reduce the intensity of troubling memories through guided processing and can be offered in online sessions for those with ongoing trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they review progress and adjust methods so the plan stays useful as needs change.
Online therapy lets people access consistent care without travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules, work breaks, or quieter check-ins while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
