About Rebecca

Rebecca Davis is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She blends evidence-based methods with a compassionate, client-focused stance to address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her training as an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) informs a systems-aware perspective that considers how relationships and life circumstances shape emotional experience. Her style centers on collaboration and practical skills building, helping people strengthen communication, manage intense emotions, and reduce avoidance that often accompanies anxiety and trauma.

Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness, dialectical strategies, and emotionally-focused techniques to tailor care to each person's needs. She also attends to related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, family of origin dynamics, substance-related difficulties, chronic illness, and codependency.

Clients can expect an approach that balances empathy with concrete tools for coping and change. Rebecca aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities and healthier coping patterns, supporting steadier relationships and improved everyday functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rebecca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. CBT focuses on recognizing and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or depression, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person's perspective and goals. That collaborative posture helps clients feel heard while deciding together which techniques or practices best fit their needs and values.

Online therapy with Rebecca uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills in daily life, and check in between sessions when helpful. Throughout the process licensed professionals like Rebecca work with clients to tailor approaches so therapeutic work aligns with practical life circumstances and personal goals.
