About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a licensed mental health counselor with a Master of Arts and holds LMHC and LPC credentials, licensed in Texas and practicing with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and difficulties coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related struggles.
Rebecca uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people manage everyday pressures. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on building skills that fit day-to-day life.
Her background includes many years of clinical work helping people with co-occurring conditions, chronic pain or illness, codependency, substance use concerns, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, immigration-related stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Rebecca emphasizes clear, goal-focused meetings where clients set priorities and track small changes. She listens for what already works in a person’s life and helps expand those strengths into usable coping habits. The approach is direct and paced to the client's needs.

How sessions work
How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or is coping with loss, life transitions, or persistent anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to depression, anxiety, or sleep problems. It often involves short exercises and practical homework to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger, stress, and sleep difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try, and adjustments are made as progress or new needs emerge.
