Rebecca McDow, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Rebecca

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy practical and steady for adults. Rebecca brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence that helps people talk through what matters most to them.

She uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions often involve learning new ways to manage difficult thoughts, practicing skills for emotion regulation, and setting small, achievable steps toward change.

Background and approach

Rebecca adapts techniques to fit each person’s situation and pace. With 18 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma, ADHD, eating and sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and career or life-purpose questions. Her experience also includes addressing issues such as anger, bipolar mood challenges, and adjustment after separation or loss.

Rebecca aims to build a supportive space where clients can name goals and try practical strategies between sessions. She offers weekday evenings and weekend appointments to fit different schedules. Her approach is straightforward, respectful, and focused on helping people move forward in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rebecca uses cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take small, focused actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful steps even when difficult feelings are present.

She brings a client-centered attitude to these methods, listening first and shaping work together. Figuring out the best approach is collaborative - the therapist and client check what helps, adjust techniques, and set goals that match the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. This range of formats supports different comfort levels and lifestyles, whether someone needs a quick check-in by message or a longer video session. The flexibility helps people fit therapy into busy weeks while keeping focus on practical steps and real-life skills.

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.
