About Rebecca

Rebecca Jarrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and brings calm, practical care to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people take small steps that make daily life easier.

Rebecca trained at Sam Houston State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling.

Background and approach

Her work history includes roles in psychiatrist offices, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and independent practice. That variety shaped a flexible approach to common, painful problems like loss, mood struggles, and life transitions. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

She also integrates Mindfulness and Somatic techniques when body awareness or stress regulation will help the process. Solution-focused tools are added when people want quick, practical steps to move forward. Rebecca is a Certified Grief Educator and places particular emphasis on grief and loss along with trauma recovery.

Her work is rooted in helping clients find their own answers while offering guidance and teaching skills to cope and heal. Sessions are offered in English and Rebecca accepts international clients. She works through a subscription model and uses a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete ways to shift them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and stress by giving tools to test and change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, which trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness is useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. When the body holds stress, she layers Somatic techniques to help clients notice bodily signals and learn grounding practices that reduce tension.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel like in-person meetings from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach licensed professionals from different locations.

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.
