About Rebecca

Rebecca Garcia is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in Florida. She has over 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. Rebecca aims to make the first step feel possible for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what is happening. Together they set clear goals and try small, doable changes that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Rebecca explains tools in plain language and checks in on what works. Rebecca uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on strengths and find realistic next steps.

These methods are presented simply so clients can use them between sessions. Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that focuses on problem solving and coping skills. Rebecca pays attention to emotions and practical obstacles like family stress and life transitions.

She helps people process grief, work through intimacy and relationship concerns, and address issues such as mood disorders or trauma-related symptoms. Her practice includes several communication formats to fit different needs. Rebecca guides each person through a clear plan and adjusts strategies based on what they need and how they respond.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT teaches practical skills like breaking problems into smaller steps and testing new ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes what is already working and builds short-term, achievable goals. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical changes for parenting challenges, relationship issues, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts plans based on what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions using messages or chat. The variety of options helps people access therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
