About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, compassionate support for everyday challenges. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. Rebekah welcomes honest talk and aims to make the first step feel doable.
She keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people notice what matters most and choose small, workable steps. Rebekah uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based methods to help change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Relationship and family strains are common reasons people reach out. Rebekah helps individuals talk through conflict, set boundaries, and repair trust where possible. She also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, addiction, and complicated grief without judgment.
Her work includes attention to eating and sleeping issues, burnout and compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and career stress. She draws on attachment-informed ideas to clarify how past relationships shape present behavior and to build healthier ways of relating. Rebekah practices from Maine and brings four years of clinical experience.
She offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with her practice and schedule a first appointment.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting frustration, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns and introduces concrete experiments to test new ways of acting and thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep and eating problems, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods together. Sessions are collaborative so adjustments are made as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational exchange, phone can fit into a tight schedule or when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to get regular support while juggling parenting, work, and daily life.
