About Rebecca

Rebecca Hathorn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, grief, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings focused attention to issues such as parenting stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and questions about identity and life purpose. Her background also includes work with adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, codependency, and communication or control issues within families.

With 17 years of clinical experience, Rebecca practices in a manner that emphasizes a trusting, collaborative relationship. Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and solution-focused interventions to help clients identify patterns, set goals, and try new strategies.

She aims to offer practical reflections and suggestions while supporting clients in reaching their own conclusions about change. Rebecca offers sessions through a mix of messaging and live chat formats, and she encourages prospective clients to reach out with questions about scheduling and fit.

Approach and Access in Online Therapy

Rebecca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person can explore feelings and arrive at their own insights, helpful for building self-esteem and processing relationship or family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca treats this as a collaborative effort. She works with each person to identify goals, test what techniques feel most helpful, and adjust methods based on preferences and progress rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity across schedules. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow frequent check-ins and ongoing support in ways that face-to-face schedules sometimes cannot accommodate.
