About Rebecca
Rebecca Gibson is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on the parent’s experience during stressful or changing times. She listens with care and asks clear questions so parents can make sense of what they are facing. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping people find skills that fit their daily life.
Rebecca draws from a wide range of approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters to the individual and narrative ideas to help people reframe painful stories.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and somatic approaches are woven in to help with stress, trauma, chronic pain, and addiction-related struggles. Her practice emphasizes hands-on skills you can try between sessions. That might include grounding exercises, mindful breathing, or short behavioral experiments to test new ways of relating and coping.
She often focuses on how emotional patterns show up in the body and teaches simple steps to ease tension and reactivity. Rebecca trained and interned in Austin in the 1980s and has practiced in Texas for many years. She has worked with issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is shaped by long experience and a commitment to adapt therapy to each person’s needs. In sessions she aims to create a calm, steady space where practical tools and deeper meaning work together. Clients can expect an attentive listener who helps them find what works now and build skills for the future.

Approach options for online parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on following what matters to the person in front of you. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions for stress, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.Existential therapy looks at life choices and meaning. It can help people facing big transitions, questions about purpose, or feelings of emptiness that affect family life and daily routines.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety. These exercises can be used at home between sessions to manage overwhelm and support calmer parenting responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying a short experiment of one approach and adjusting from there.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be good for quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use tools in real-life moments.
