About Rebecca
Rebecca Shoemaker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who blends practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression.
Background and approach
With a decade of clinical experience, she aims to create individualized plans that align with each person's needs, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused strategies. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, adapting conversations and interventions to reflect a client's goals and circumstances.
Rebecca has additional experience addressing issues that include aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and relationship patterns, body image and self-love, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, panic and mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and workplace-related difficulties. Rebecca encourages those ready to explore change to take the first step, noting that beginning therapy often takes courage.
Her practice focuses on collaborative work to build coping skills, clarify priorities, and support meaningful progress in everyday life.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Rebecca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy, active listening, and tailoring the conversation so clients feel heard and can explore their own goals and values.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when appropriate, teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and building distress tolerance. These approaches are presented collaboratively so the therapist and client can decide which methods best match the client's needs, preferences, and goals over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities. This range of formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to access support from Pennsylvania without commuting, while the therapist guides selection of approaches and formats that work best for each individual's circumstances.
