About Rebecca

Rebecca Garcia is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with over 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, and coping with life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar and a variety of related issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and sexual assault and abuse. Rebecca blends practical strategies and collaborative problem solving to help people navigate difficult moments and build skills for long-term wellbeing.

Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, she supports clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and setting concrete goals. Her approach emphasizes respect, nonjudgmental listening, and empowerment so clients can explore feelings and make meaningful changes at their own pace.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that follow; this approach often helps with anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes identifying strengths, setting clear goals, and developing practical strategies to move forward in a shorter time frame.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with clients to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and may adapt techniques from different methods so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model of care. This collaborative stance aims to keep work focused and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage appointments more easily, and access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
