About Rebecca

Rebecca Dries is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for parents and caregivers seeking support. Rebecca works from Delaware and conducts sessions in English.

Rebecca uses a person-centered frame to build trust and meet clients where they are. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical shifts.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are used to ground people in the moment and reduce reactivity. She also brings trauma-focused skills when past injuries are part of the current struggle. Her training includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and the designation LPMHC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health.

Rebecca has five years of clinical experience working with adult clients and has supported people coping with bipolar disorder, complex trauma, grief, addictions, and compassion fatigue among other concerns. Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and life situation. Rebecca adapts her use of tools depending on what helps most in day-to-day life.

She values cultural awareness and access to care, and she aims to make therapy respectful and practical. For parents worried about a child's mood, a teenager’s anxiety, or a partner struggling with depression, Rebecca offers straightforward guidance and concrete steps to try between meetings. She encourages questions and collaborates on a plan that fits each family's schedule and needs.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Rebecca blends person-centered listening with concrete skills work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance so people feel heard and understood, which can make it easier to try new steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors, helping people reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of past harm and uses paced, supportive techniques to address traumatic memories and reactions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try tools in sessions and adjust what is used based on what helps most in daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it possible to meet from home, coordinate around parenting or work schedules, and follow up between meetings with brief messages. The varied formats give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

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.
