Rebecca Wedel, LCSW

Rebecca Wedel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on practical change in everyday thoughts and habits. She aims to build a trusting relationship first, then supports people as they tackle specific life problems. Rebecca keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth, using clear strategies rather than jargon. She brings nine years of clinical experience along with hands-on life experience as a parent and caregiver.

Rebecca adapts her work to each person’s needs, drawing from several approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She often helps people untangle difficult feelings about grief, loss of identity, caregiving stress, or changes after big life events. She also addresses anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or family-origin issues.

Her background includes inpatient psychiatric settings, medical-surgical care, high-risk pregnancy and miscarriage support, and rehab work. That variety shaped a practical style that values listening, sensitivity, and straightforward tools you can use between sessions. Rebecca mentions caregiving for elderly parents and juggling family roles as areas she currently focuses on.

Sessions are aimed at identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and everyday routines, then testing small changes. She talks through perceptions and helps people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. Rebecca also draws on mindfulness and behavioral tools to build new habits and ease daily stress.

Outside work she enjoys yoga, gardening, and following University of Kentucky basketball. She invites questions and prefers collaborative problem solving when deciding how to move forward.

Approaches that help reshape thoughts and habits

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice troubling thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss these methods and collaborate with the person to choose what fits best. She adapts techniques to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed method.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work also makes it easier to maintain continuity through life transitions and caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in virtual sessions to practice skills, try behavioral experiments, and review progress together.
