About Rebecca
Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She works with adults across a range of concerns including self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and relationship issues. Rebecca aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's perspective at the center of sessions.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients live by their values when situations feel overwhelming.
Rebecca describes her style as nonjudgmental and respectful, adapting methods to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning, managing intense emotions, and supporting recovery after trauma or loss. She emphasizes simple, achievable steps rather than complicated plans.
With 18 years of counseling experience, Rebecca has worked with many adults coping with career stress, sleep and eating concerns, and major life transitions like divorce or midlife change. Her background includes assisting people with chronic illness and first responder issues as well as working through codependency and abandonment worries.
She offers evening hours during weekdays and additional daily and evening times on weekends. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider which goals matter most before starting so sessions can focus on practical progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Rebecca uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and everyday stress by teaching concrete skills and stepwise practice.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace. This style helps people feel heard while they sort through emotions like grief, shame, or anger and decide next steps that match their values.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rebecca will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. The first sessions usually involve setting clear, manageable goals and deciding which tools will be most useful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered practices to online conversations so people can practice skills between sessions and bring questions back to their therapist.
