About Rebecca

Rebecca Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She began her career working with children who had severe behavioral and mental health needs and later transitioned to supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. She focuses on practical coping skills and helping people manage everyday challenges.

Rebecca works with common life concerns like relationship stresses, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also helps people cope with major life changes and the strain caregiving can bring. Her experience includes supporting parents navigating adoption and attachment challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and strengths-based. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds on what already works in their life. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that feel doable.

Rebecca uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and to set short-term goals. These tools are applied in simple, practical ways so people can try them between sessions.

She aims to create a supportive space for people to practice new skills, repair relationships, and rebuild confidence. Rebecca encourages small, steady changes that add up over time.

Step 3

How Rebecca Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT often involves simple exercises to test thoughts and practice new reactions, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, concrete goals and steps toward them. That approach looks for what is already working and builds brief, achievable actions that move a person forward.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Rebecca can explain how these approaches translate to remote work and how sessions can fit into daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can try new skills between appointments.
