About Rebecca

Rebecca Jordan is an LCSW practicing in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with grief, addiction, codependency, career strain, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making starting therapy feel less overwhelming.

She creates a space where clients can name their concerns and feel heard. Sessions focus on building practical skills and clearer thinking. Rebecca emphasizes small, workable steps so change feels possible between sessions.

Her background includes seven years as a therapist and many additional years working as a social worker. That experience shaped a flexible approach that borrows from different therapies to fit each person’s needs. Rebecca uses methods that help people regulate emotion, set boundaries, and change unhelpful habits.

In practice she mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based work. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and elements of emotionally-focused therapy to address relationship patterns and emotional intensity. The goal is to match techniques to practical goals like better sleep, calmer mornings, or clearer communication.

Rebecca invites people to take gradual steps toward a more manageable life. She focuses on collaboration, so clients help choose the pace and priorities. If you want a therapist who listens and offers tangible strategies, she may be a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck by teaching acceptance and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins around a break, reducing travel time, and helping people keep consistency when schedules are tight. Discuss scheduling and practical needs with the therapist to find an approach and rhythm that fit your daily routine.
