About Rebecca

Rebecca Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 23 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and major life transitions, and has worked with concerns related to relationships, family dynamics, communication, caregiver strain, aging and hospice issues, and self-esteem. Rebecca blends pragmatic therapy methods with a humane, collaborative stance to tailor care to each person's situation.

Her style is warm and interactive, framed as a partnership that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused elements to help clients clarify goals and build practical coping skills.

Rebecca also draws on dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing when helpful to address emotion regulation, motivation, and present-moment awareness. Clients can expect a thoughtful, goal-oriented process in which the therapist and client work together on an individualized plan.

Rebecca aims to help people move toward clearer priorities, improved communication, and more effective ways of managing difficult feelings and life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Rebecca regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing mood and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where the client's priorities guide the work and the therapist provides empathy and support. In addition, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills are needed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, then adapts methods from CBT, client-centered work, and DBT as appropriate to build a personalized plan that fits the client's needs.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it practical to access regular care from wherever a client is located in Texas. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow follow-up and skill practice between sessions, and support continuity of care while adapting therapeutic techniques to each format.
