About Rebecca
Rebecca Andersen is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and individual struggles. She aims to create a calm space where parents and partners can talk through what feels overwhelming. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, so people know what to expect from sessions.
Rebecca brings 21 years of clinical practice in Minnesota to her work. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues around intimacy and communication.
Background and approach
She also addresses parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and career-related strain. In sessions Rebecca uses practical, evidence-informed tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses emotionally-focused work to improve connection in relationships and narrative approaches to reframe difficult life stories. Her approach is warm and collaborative. Clients are invited to set goals and try small changes between meetings.
She emphasizes clear steps and simple practices that can fit into busy family life. Rebecca offers different ways to meet, including video, phone, and text-based options. Her practice is aimed at helping families and parents find steadier routines, clearer communication, and more satisfying relationships over time.
Approaches for online family and parenting support
Client-centered work focuses on listening closely to each person and meeting them where they are. It helps when parents and partners need a non-judgmental space to express concerns and be heard, and it guides the therapist to shape sessions around the family's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns and to change habits that get in the way of family functioning.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengthening emotional bonds between partners and family members. It is useful when connection, trust, or intimacy have been strained and when people want more supported emotional responses from one another.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and what feels doable for your family. That collaborative process helps match methods to real-life needs.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Rebecca offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best. These options provide flexibility for parents juggling work, school, and caregiving while still accessing regular therapeutic support.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
