Rebecca Smith, LMHC, LPC

Rebecca Smith is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and major life changes. Rebecca aims to make the first steps feel possible and clear so people can move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

Her approach is practical and flexible. She listens first, then uses tools from several methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Techniques she commonly uses include cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment ideas, and elements of dialectical behavior work.

Rebecca draws on experience working with mood concerns, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic illness or pain, codependency, family problems, immigration-related stress, and the stress that comes with divorce or separation.

Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can practice between meetings, and steps that fit your daily life. She describes therapy as a collaboration where the person’s own strengths guide progress. People often leave sessions with concrete coping ideas and next steps.

Rebecca practices in Massachusetts and holds an MA LMHC and a TX LPC. She offers services in English and does not take international clients. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, fill out the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It can help when life feels stuck or during big transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that lower reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca listens to what you want to change and what fits your life. Together you and she decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made. This helps keep sessions useful and focused on your goals.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, require less travel, and let them practice skills in the places they live. Online work can also make short check-ins simple when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to how much time someone has between sessions.
