Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Maine who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She creates a calm space where clients can speak openly about hard feelings. Rebekah emphasizes practical steps and steady support to help people move forward.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to meet individual needs.

How Rebekah uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and family or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptom impact and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings and can help with relationship difficulties, codependency, and family of origin issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebekah will talk with each person about goals, worries, and what feels doable. She combines methods and adjusts strategies as needed so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. This helps set expectations about how meetings will happen. Online work can make it easier to add therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows focusing on skills, practicing strategies between meetings, and checking progress in ways that fit everyday life.
