Rebecca Smith

Rebecca Smith is a licensed social worker practicing in West Virginia. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges related to self-esteem and motivation.

She listens with respect and sensitivity and adapts conversations to each person's situation. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Rebecca helps people name what feels hard and find steps that fit their life.

Her approach blends several ways of working. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered when slowing down and noticing the present moment is helpful.

Rebecca also draws on motivational interviewing to support changes people want to make, and narrative therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. These methods are applied with attention to trauma, relationship strain, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and other life challenges. She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, family of origin problems, and forgiveness.

People often come for help with coping with life changes, sleep struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca works to create a clear plan together and adjusts the pace to each person. If you are ready to start, follow the site process to match and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Rebecca often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard while they work through stress, grief, or relationship concerns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and some aspects of addiction and anger management.

Mindfulness Therapy is offered when slowing down and noticing moment-to-moment experience is helpful. Simple mindfulness exercises can support coping with stress, improve sleep habits, and reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time and checks in about what is or isn’t working.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they manage life changes.
