About Rebekah

Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and experiences of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She emphasizes collaborative work that helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior while building practical strategies for change and emotional regulation. With four years of professional experience, Rebekah creates an inviting space for people to explore difficult feelings such as depression, grief, anger, and low self-esteem.

Her practice also addresses challenges related to parenting, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions, and she offers support around adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, substance concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Rebekah aims to support clients in clarifying goals and discovering workable steps toward a more manageable life.

She combines a client-centered stance with techniques from ACT, DBT, attachment-based work, and CBT to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging under a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; online CBT often uses structured problem-solving, skill-building, and goal setting to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and practice psychological flexibility by combining mindfulness with actionable steps, which can be practiced between sessions to manage difficult emotions and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that developed in early relationships and supports rebuilding healthier connection strategies, useful for addressing relationship and family difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to choose or blend methods that align with their goals and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor techniques and homework so that therapy feels useful and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from Maine without needing to travel, and they allow people to continue work between sessions using methods discussed during appointments.
