About Rebecca

Rebecca Davis is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, and self-esteem struggles.

She works in a warm, straightforward way and aims to help people regain steadiness in daily life. Conversations often include building better communication, managing intense emotions, and reducing the grip of worry or shame. The first meetings focus on what matters most to the client and practical next steps.

Rebecca blends approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to follow the client’s lead and CBT to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. DBT skills and mindfulness practices are commonly taught for emotion regulation and moment-to-moment coping.

Sessions also address background issues that affect current life, such as attachment concerns, family of origin matters, adoption and foster care experiences, and past abuse. She supports people coping with long-term illness, substance misuse, codependency, and communication problems.

Rebecca aims for clear, usable tools clients can apply between sessions. Therapy often includes skill practice, small behavior changes, and ongoing check-ins about what’s working. She asks clients to set short-term goals so progress is visible and measurable over time.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what matters most and adjust questions to each person’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In an online setting CBT often uses straightforward exercises and between-session practice to reduce anxiety or depressive thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. Delivered online, DBT skills work can include short skills coaching, emotion regulation techniques, and structured practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will review goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adapt strategies over time in collaboration with the client.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to attend from different locations, choose a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your daily routine and technical preferences.
