About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She works with adults facing depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. Rebekah aims to make first steps into therapy feel simple and supported.
She uses practical, conversational methods so clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions are a place to name what’s happening, test new ways of coping, and try skills that reduce worry or overwhelm.
Background and approach
Rebekah emphasizes connection and acceptance while helping people take action toward clearer goals. With four years of clinical experience in Maine, she draws on several evidence-based approaches. These include cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based strategies to tolerate hard feelings, and attachment-focused work to improve close relationships.
Rebekah also integrates client-centered and dialectical tools when they fit the person’s needs. She supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns such as sleep and eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, substance problems, and family of origin work.
Rebekah aims to keep sessions straightforward and goal oriented. She invites clients to explore practical steps, notice patterns, and build habits that make daily life easier. Taking that first step is often the hardest, and she seeks to make it feel manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating and communicating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can adjust the plan over time, mixing techniques that feel most helpful and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people send shorter updates, try brief coaching, or fit therapy into busy days. These options aim to make regular work on your goals easier to keep up with.
