About Rebecca

Rebecca Hegwood is a licensed professional counselor who practices in South Carolina. She earned her degree from the University of South Carolina in Rehabilitation Counseling and has about 10 years of experience in outpatient community and personal settings. Rebecca uses a warm, encouraging style and aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can feel heard.

She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background also includes helping those with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleeping problems, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca approaches each person as an individual and emphasizes practical steps that fit everyday life. Her approach blends person-centered care with evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior tools.

That means sessions often focus on identifying helpful and unhelpful thoughts, learning new coping skills, and building on strengths you already have. Rebecca explains options clearly and works with each person to set realistic goals. Parents and people worried about family issues can expect straightforward guidance about communication, boundaries, and problem-solving.

Rebecca pays attention to how stress and life changes affect daily routines and parenting roles, and she helps clients practice skills between sessions. She values collaboration and gently encourages clients to try new ways of handling challenges. Rebecca aims to help people gain clarity, reduce distress, and make steady progress toward the life they want.

Practical therapy approaches for online support

Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that are easy to apply at home. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values and goals. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change patterns that increase distress.

She pairs those approaches with a person-centered attitude so clients help shape the plan. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will talk with you about what feels useful, try techniques together, and adjust as goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options can fit around work, school, and parenting responsibilities and allow consistent contact when schedules are tight. Rebecca uses these formats to coach new skills, review progress, and provide check-ins between appointments so therapy fits into real life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
