About Rebecca

Rebecca Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Rebecca also helps with stress, addictions, eating and coaching needs, and compassion fatigue.

She describes common problems as painful experiences that lead to negative self-talk, intrusive memories, and a loss of enjoyment. She listens for what feels most stuck and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses to them.

Rebecca draws on several approaches in her work. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and change thought and behavior patterns. She brings attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship experiences shape current reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills are used to clarify values and to make small behavior changes that align with those values.

Her style is straightforward and calm. She encourages clients to try exercises between sessions and to check what works in daily life. Rebecca works in English and practices in Texas as a TX LCSW.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How Rebecca uses therapeutic methods online

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than getting pulled into self-criticism. It can help when guilt or shame keep someone from living the life they want. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior now, which can be useful for shame tied to relationships or abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca aims to work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts the approach as needed rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options if that helps them join more consistently. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and plan your first session.
