Rebecca Smith, LICSW, LCSW - Therapist in West Virginia

About Rebecca

Rebecca Smith is a licensed clinical social worker in West Virginia who brings practical, steady support to people facing hard moments. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and has nine years of clinical experience. Rebecca focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns among other issues.

She speaks plainly and treats clients with respect and compassion. Her sessions are shaped around each person's needs. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.

Background and approach

Rebecca uses straightforward techniques to reduce overwhelming feelings and to rebuild daily routines. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related problems, communication breakdowns, and family challenges. Rebecca blends several approaches in sessions, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques.

That mix lets her help people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and name difficult experiences. She aims for concrete tools that people can try between meetings. Parents and those juggling caregiving often bring concerns about sleep, anger, burnout, and role changes.

Rebecca helps clarify what matters most and supports practical steps toward relief. She also works with issues like addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Rebecca invites people to take the first step when they feel ready and will work collaboratively to shape a plan that fits their life.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals. It helps when someone needs an understanding space to talk through worries or parenting pressures.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete steps and small experiments to change sleep patterns, anxiety, or unhelpful routines.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to settle the body and mind. These practices can be useful for stress, trauma reactions, and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Rebecca offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what works best for them. These formats allow ongoing contact, quick check-ins between meetings, and flexibility for parents or caregivers juggling schedules.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
