About Rebecca
Her style is down-to-earth and person-centered. She focuses on strengths people already have and helps them build habits that fit their goals. Sessions include practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to change thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way.
Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles, attachment-informed ideas, and client-centered listening to guide sessions. She also draws on dialectical behavior techniques when people need skills for strong emotions or intense stress. Together with clients she sets clear, achievable steps and practices to try between meetings.
She has long experience with trauma recovery, including work with survivors of physical and emotional abuse and military-related trauma at VA facilities. That background informs a careful, steady approach when past events are part of someone's present struggles.
Rebecca offers help in English and Cantonese. She practices in California as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - and mixes individual and group methods when they fit the person's goals. Readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches shape online work
Rebecca blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening into practical online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters most, and take small actions toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns to explain current worries and communication habits, and it helps people form safer ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while deciding what changes to try.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what is helpful. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and day-to-day needs guide which tools are used.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Online sessions can allow consistent practice of skills like mindfulness, thought records, and behavior experiments while clients remain engaged in their daily routines.
