About Rebecca
Rebecca Knutson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Minnesota with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family issues, trauma, and questions tied to identity. Rebecca aims to help people who carry guilt or shame related to relationships, identity, or past events.
She uses a trauma-informed, client-centered stance and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address worry, mood shifts, and difficult memories. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings, like clearer communication and ways to manage strong feelings.
Rebecca often works with people exploring LGBT identity and those navigating alternative relationship structures or kink dynamics. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment wounds, family of origin problems, and grief tied to loss or life transitions.
In the room she listens closely, asks direct questions, and helps people examine patterns that keep them stuck. She pays attention to how shame and guilt show up in relationships and day-to-day choices, and she helps people practice different ways of responding.
People who choose Rebecca can expect collaborative sessions that mix emotion-focused conversation with concrete skills practice. If you are managing persistent self-blame, worrying thoughts, or the fallout of past trauma, she offers steady, practical work aimed at clearer thinking and more effective interactions.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on processing trauma and improving emotional regulation. Trauma-informed methods help people name and work through distressing memories and patterns that feed guilt or shame, while emotion regulation skills teach concrete ways to reduce overwhelming feelings and respond differently.She also integrates work on relationships and communication, helping clients practice clearer conversations and set boundaries. That approach is useful when shame affects how someone connects with partners, family, or community. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process; Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide what to try first based on their goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer quicker check-ins when stress spikes. Different session styles can be useful for different needs - for example, shorter check-ins for immediate support or longer sessions for processing trauma - and Rebecca will work with clients to find what fits their life and goals.
