About Rebecca

Rebecca Ertle is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She keeps things straightforward in sessions and focuses on small, usable steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Rebecca practices in Wyoming and brings five years of experience to her work as an LPC.

Rebecca creates a calm, listening space where clients can name what feels hard and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

She emphasizes clear communication, self-compassion, and skills that can be used between sessions. Her background includes helping people manage panic, mood shifts, and difficult transitions at work or in personal life. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced options.

Mindfulness strategies are taught to ground attention and lower reactivity during stressful moments. Rebecca also draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person's pace and priorities. In practice she supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Additional focuses include blended family dynamics, abandonment, and guilt or shame. Rebecca aims to help clients build routines and choices that match their values. Her approach is collaborative and practical.

Sessions work toward clear goals such as reducing panic attacks, improving communication, or finding next steps after a separation. Rebecca prefers language that feels plain and direct so parents can read quickly and know what to expect.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online

Rebecca often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thoughts that increase stress and then practice clearer thinking and new behaviors. CBT is helpful for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and day-to-day coping. Mindfulness therapy is another common tool she teaches to help clients stay present and reduce reactivity during upsetting moments. These practices are useful for grief, trauma symptoms, and chronic worry. She also relies on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace, listen deeply, and make room for what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca discusses goals, tries methods that fit the person, and adjusts plans based on what helps. That collaborative process means clients shape which techniques are used and how quickly they move between them.

Online therapy offers practical access to these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around parenting, work, and daily demands while continuing skill practice between meetings. The combination of clear techniques and flexible formats helps people keep progress moving even when life is busy.

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.
