About Rebecca

Rebecca Wedel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, relational therapy. She emphasizes building a trusting connection first. From that base she uses clear, evidence-based methods to address problems parents and individuals bring to sessions.

Rebecca listens closely and helps clients name what feels most urgent. She draws on nine years of clinical work and several therapy styles to tailor each session. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday life, not clinical jargon.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She also helps with parenting challenges, family troubles, coping with life changes, and caregiver stress. Rebecca pays attention to how life transitions affect identity and relationships.

Rebecca trained at the master’s level and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She has experience in inpatient psychiatric settings, medical and surgical environments, and rehabilitation contexts. These settings shaped her ability to support people during hard, practical moments.

Sessions typically use therapies like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered listening. Therapy focuses on small, usable steps clients can try between sessions. Rebecca aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily family life.

She lives in Texas and offers sessions in English. Rebecca welcomes people who need help sorting through caregiving pressures, parenting questions, or major life shifts, and she works with each person to find workable next steps.

Approach, fit, and online options for family-focused care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by focusing on concrete choices rather than only feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and moods interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca treats selection of methods as a conversation. She will review a client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and then try methods that feel like a good fit. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback shape the plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not convenient, or live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, caregiving routines, and changing days.

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.
