About Rebecca
Rebecca Hegwood is a licensed professional counselor who has built a decade of clinical experience since completing the Rehabilitation Counseling program at the University of South Carolina in 2015.
Background and approach
She has worked in outpatient community and personal settings, supporting people facing severe and persistent mental illness as well as those navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Her dual credentials are LPC and LCMHC, listed in South Carolina and North Carolina respectively.
Her style is nurturing, encouraging, and supportive, with an integrative approach that draws on multiple evidence-informed methods to fit each person's needs. She emphasizes a person-centered stance, meeting clients where they are and helping them identify strengths to foster self-empowerment and growth.
Rebecca also uses cognitive and dialectical behavioral techniques when helpful to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she collaborates with clients to set and revise goals throughout therapy. Clients can expect a therapist who values being heard without judgment and works alongside them to find practical steps toward greater fulfillment and emotional balance.
Rebecca aims to help individuals harness their own resources and move through change with increased clarity and resilience.
Applying evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Rebecca often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. ACT emphasizes values-based action and accepting internal experiences while committing to meaningful change, which helps with chronic stress, life transitions, and coping with difficult emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods best match their goals and preferences. She listens to each person's concerns, discusses options, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with evolving needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to stay consistent with sessions, access care from home, and use brief check-ins or messaging between appointments when helpful.
