About Rebecca

Rebecca Cook is a licensed clinical social worker who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

With eight years of professional experience, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness strategies to support practical coping, emotional processing, and changes in daily patterns. Her work emphasizes the client’s strengths and lived knowledge as central resources in addressing challenges such as relationship strain, career pressures, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Rebecca also brings experience addressing complex life transitions and family-related issues including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She blends solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to set achievable goals, while trauma-informed practices guide work with histories of abuse and loss.

Rebecca holds an LCSW licensed in Missouri and offers services in English, welcoming clients from varied locations including international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Rebecca integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then testing small, practical changes to shift those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s own perspective, offering empathic listening and validation to help people explore their values and make choices aligned with their goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to tailor interventions based on their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods as progress is reviewed so sessions remain relevant and effective for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care while balancing work, family, and travel, and they allow conversations to continue even when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
