About Rebecca

Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with ten years of clinical experience. She draws on a broad background working in schools, agency settings, community locations, clients' homes, and an office practice to meet people where they are.

Background and approach

Her caseload has included people affected by trauma, adoption and foster-care backgrounds, separation and reunification, domestic violence, chronic illness, and a range of mood and anxiety presentations. Rebecca uses an intake conversation and mental status exam to shape an initial plan, asking about the reasons for seeking therapy and partnering with clients to set personal and professional goals.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and honoring each person's voice in the work. She aims to create an environment where people feel heard, validated, and supported while exploring change.

Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, and trauma-informed approaches. Sessions are designed to be practical and goal-oriented while remaining responsive to each client’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or focus. She also integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients shape goals and the pace of work based on their priorities. Mindfulness therapy is another thread in her work, offering attention and grounding practices that support emotion regulation and coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rebecca treats that decision as collaborative. She begins with an intake conversation and a mental status exam to learn about immediate concerns and longer-term goals, then discusses which techniques may be most helpful. Over subsequent sessions she adjusts methods to align with the client's needs and preferences rather than relying on a single formula.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and connect from different locations while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to address stress, relationships, trauma, and other concerns.
