Rebecca Holland, LCSW - Therapist in Illinois

About Rebecca

Rebecca Holland is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and issues with self-esteem. She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to support those facing life changes, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and grief. Her work also addresses trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and relationship difficulties including communication and separation worries.

Rebecca listens first and meets each person where they are. She believes people know their own story and that small changes can have big effects.

Background and approach

She aims to offer clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions focus on manageable skills and realistic goals. Her approach uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness.

That means clients learn to notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and practice present-moment coping skills. Techniques are taught in straightforward ways that can be used between sessions. Rebecca has worked across a range of concerns related to family, parenting, trauma and mood problems.

She also helps with more specific issues like postpartum depression, panic attacks, attachment and abandonment worries, and body image struggles. Her background supports people navigating both everyday stressors and deeper life changes. Sessions are available in English.

Rebecca’s Illinois LCSW credential is IL LCSW 149015342. She encourages people to take a first step when they feel ready and offers a calmly direct style aimed at steady progress.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Rebecca uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through practical emotion regulation and interpersonal tools.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. That practice supports stress reduction, better sleep, and more measured responses to triggers. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, life demands, and what feels most useful in day-to-day life.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when attending in person is difficult. The online format still allows for skills teaching, real-time coaching, and follow-up between sessions so progress can happen across different settings.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

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.
