About Rebekah

Dr. Rebekah Jaeger uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and parenting concerns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to break problems into manageable steps.

Her style is direct but warm, focused on what can change now to make home life calmer. Dr. Jaeger holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practices in North Carolina.

She has 16 years of clinical experience in schools, community mental health, college counseling, and online care.

Background and approach

That background means she is used to working with different ages and settings and shifting approaches to fit each situation. She has worked extensively with LGBT clients and with people facing trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy issues. Sessions are goal-oriented and collaborative.

She helps clients set clear, realistic goals and then practices skills together in session. This can include skills for coping with panic and worry, tools to improve sleep and eating routines, or communication strategies for intimate relationships. Her additional focus areas include ADHD, bipolar disorders, grief, and parenting challenges.

She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness, and recovery from domestic violence. Those concerns often overlap, and she addresses them in an integrated way. Dr.

Jaeger adapts methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy when needed to meet the client's goals. She meets clients where they are and works step by step to build lasting skills and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce worry and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship and uses the therapist's listening to help clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to pick methods that fit the person's goals, preferences, and current life demands. That can mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how well it helps.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging give options for short check-ins and between-session support. These choices make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, and parenting responsibilities.

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.
