About Rebecca

Rebecca Davis is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her work is grounded in empathy and straightforward support for everyday problems.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through what matters most. Rebecca focuses on practical skills like clearer communication and managing strong emotions. She aims to help people feel more steady and capable in daily life.

Her approach mixes several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions often include learning new coping skills, trying short experiments between meetings, and checking in on progress. Rebecca pays attention to how past relationships influence current behavior and feelings.

She also works with issues connected to family of origin, abandonment, adoption and foster care history, body image, chronic illness, and addiction. Codependency is listed among areas she addresses when it shows up in a person’s life. Rebecca tailors her work to each person’s history and goals.

Rebecca uses client-centered listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused work are added when helpful. People who want direct, practical support to make small changes often find this approach useful.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for intense emotions, including distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and helpful rather than stuck on one method.

Confirm the current session options before booking to learn how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to practice skills between sessions in real-life situations, and to bring in paperwork or worksheets during a meeting when helpful. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so arrangements match your routine and needs.
