About Rebecca
Rebecca Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She began her career working with children who had severe behavioral and mental health needs. Over time she shifted to supporting adults with intellectual disabilities while continuing to address common life and mental health concerns.
Rebecca helps people work through relationship strains and family problems. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. She has experience addressing abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, and challenges that follow adoption and foster care.
Her early clinical work gave her practical skills for managing difficult behaviors and complex needs. That background informs how she structures sessions now, with clear steps and focused goals. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to tackle specific patterns of thinking and to build practical strategies.
Rebecca often works with parents who are navigating attachment difficulties and challenging behaviors in adopted children. She also helps individuals dealing with guilt, shame, caregiver stress, and isolation. Sessions are meant to identify concrete next steps and small changes that can reduce daily strain.
Her style is direct and pragmatic. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and a plan are set.
How sessions work
How Rebecca applies CBT and solution-focused work online
Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. This approach centers on steps that move a person toward clearer functioning and better communication, often by identifying what already works and building on it.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and new issues appear.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue care during life changes, since appointments can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
