About Rebekah
Rebekah Verdugo, LICSW, helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, phobias, and related mood and stress concerns. She aims to make conversations simple and direct so parents can quickly understand how therapy might help. Her style is calm and focused on practical steps rather than labels.
Rebekah uses clear talk and active listening to learn what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness ideas to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice, goal setting, and small experiments to try between meetings. Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and a Washington LICSW credential. That experience informs a steady, warm approach in sessions.
She emphasizes collaboration and helps people set goals they can reach. Rebekah often supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. She also helps those facing panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar mood challenges, and co-morbid concerns that combine several issues at once.
Her way of working is practical and person-focused. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and practices skills during and between sessions. Parents reading on a phone will find straightforward language and clear next steps when they reach out.
Approaches that guide online work and next steps
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and persistent worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps reduce panic, phobic avoidance, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s priorities to guide change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client talk together about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. Progress is reviewed regularly and course corrections are made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, skill prompts, and steady support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend around family and work demands.
