About Rebecca

Rebecca Phillips is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 35 years of experience to each session. She focuses on Self esteem and related concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, career questions, and life transitions. Rebecca aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them.

She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to uncover answers that fit. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what a person wants to change and small steps to get there. Rebecca also includes coaching-style support for professional and executive concerns.

Her work covers a broad range of relationship and identity topics. That includes LGBT-related issues, sexuality, gender dysphoria, codependency, and challenges tied to family of origin. She also helps people facing divorce, grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, and midlife transitions.

Rebecca uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions, such as client-centered methods that follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness. Dialectical ideas and existential questions can be part of the conversation when helpful.

Rebecca holds an LMFT credential and practices in Texas. She works in English and does not take international clients. To start, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a time.

Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Rebecca often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let someone check in from a quieter spot during the day. It also allows using brief tools and homework between meetings, which supports steady progress without needing extra office visits.
