About Rebekah
Rebekah Verdugo is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Washington who supports people facing addictions, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
She also focuses on related issues such as codependency, communication problems, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, phobias, and self-love. With nine years of professional experience, Rebekah helps clients navigate co-morbidity and the overlapping effects of mental health and substance concerns.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and nonjudgmental listening, inviting clients to explore thoughts and feelings and to set meaningful goals. Rebekah integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based strategies, mindfulness practices, client-centered techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person.
She frames the work as a process of skill-building and gradual change, supporting clients to develop clearer coping tools and stronger self-understanding. Rebekah describes the decision to seek help as an act of courage and aims to empower individuals as they pursue more fulfilling, balanced lives.
She offers a compassionate, practical approach that centers the client’s values and preferences while addressing both immediate difficulties and longer-term resilience.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Rebekah commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive thinking, and it often involves practical homework and skill practice between sessions. ACT emphasizes values clarification and psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult internal experiences while committing to behaviors that align with what matters to them.She approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Together with each client, she explores goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and tailors plans so therapy fits the person rather than imposing a single model.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and geographic constraints, while allowing therapists and clients to practice CBT and ACT tools during day-to-day life for quicker generalization of skills.
