About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a Maine-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of practice helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. She works directly with people who want practical ways to feel steadier and clearer about next steps. Sessions are presented as conversational and focused on real-life challenges.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take actions that matter. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when early family roles and expectations still shape current relationships.
Rebekah emphasizes clear, down-to-earth work rather than jargon. She listens for recurring family-of-origin patterns and points out how past roles can show up now. Then she offers specific tools to try between sessions, such as brief skills practice or experimenting with different ways of communicating.
Many people come with sleep or eating problems, burnout, or parenting strain, and she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and client-centered conversation to address stress and emotion regulation. Practical coping steps and short-term coaching tasks are also part of her approach when that fits the person’s goals.
Appointments are arranged through an online matching and scheduling flow; prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and Rebekah does not work with international clients.
How Rebekah uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small, meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and decisions about relationships or work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing bipolar mood patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family roles influence current relationships. This approach helps people recognize repeating patterns that come from family of origin issues and try different ways of relating. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try approaches together. Decisions about which strategies to use are made collaboratively and can change as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter setting for focused conversation or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use skills practice, worksheets, and in-session coaching to help apply techniques between appointments.
