Rebecca Ness

Rebecca Ness is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing major life transitions and health-related stress. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Rebecca aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person’s experience.

She brings ten years of experience, much of it spent in cancer centers supporting people from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care. That work shaped her interest in how illness affects identity, relationships, and everyday routines. She is also open to working with people living with other chronic health conditions.

Rebecca has additional training in sexual health and intimacy concerns, with a particular interest in female sexual health. In sessions she helps people reconnect with their bodies, address sexual function concerns, and improve communication about intimacy with partners. These conversations are practical and grounded in what a person wants to change.

Her approach is collaborative and strengths-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s concerns, Narrative Therapy to help reframe personal stories, Mindfulness to build present-moment skills, and Solution-Focused techniques to identify doable next steps. Rebecca supports clients in finding concrete strategies that fit their life.

People who choose her often want clear, manageable goals and a therapist who listens without judgment. To begin, she asks people to share what matters most so sessions can focus on realistic changes and improved daily functioning.

Approaches that translate to online care

Rebecca uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and build trust through listening and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through life changes, health concerns, or relationship issues.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce worry and improve day-to-day coping. Mindfulness skills are easy to practice between sessions and can help with anxiety, stress, and chronic illness management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Adjustments are made as needs change over time.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing logistics during the first appointment helps tailor session length and frequency to everyday routines and responsibilities.
