About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with ten years of experience in mental health. She meets people where they are and starts by asking why they sought therapy. Rebecca completes an intake that includes a mental status exam and uses that information to set clear, shared goals with each person.
Rebecca has worked in many settings over her career, including schools, community programs, in-home visits, agency settings, and an office. Her caseload has included people with histories of trauma, domestic violence, adoption and foster care backgrounds, and those who identify as LGBTQIA+. She has supported individuals with diagnoses such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, and others.
In sessions she focuses on listening and making space for what matters most to the client. She asks questions, clarifies priorities, and helps clients decide what changes they want to try. Rebecca believes clients should have a voice in their care and she checks in about goals and progress frequently.
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, sleep problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment issues, chronic illness or pain, and blended family concerns.
Rebecca combines practical strategies with calm, attentive conversation. She may use tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused approaches when appropriate. The next step is a short intake where she and the client map out goals and a plan.
How Rebecca Uses Different Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy centers the person seeking help. The therapist listens with focus and follows the client's lead to identify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to clarify personal goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It offers simple tools to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches basic attention skills and ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being swept away by them. It can be useful for managing stress, improving focus, and reducing reactivity after trauma.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Rebecca will talk with each person about what feels useful and try techniques that match the client's goals. If something isn't working she checks in and adjusts the plan so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT exercises or mindfulness practices to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions.
