About Rebecca
Rebecca Shoemaker is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as guilt and shame, loneliness, body image, and workplace challenges.
Rebecca prefers straightforward conversations that focus on what is causing trouble now. She uses clear, practical methods to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and test small changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine listening with skills practice and short-term goals. Clients often work on thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills in ways that fit daily life.
Rebecca pays attention to issues tied to attachment, trauma, obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic, and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, seasonal mood shifts, and women's issues. Her practice addresses both everyday pressures and longer-standing difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the standards for a Pennsylvania LPC. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can tailor an approach that aligns with current needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's concerns and perspective, offering space to describe what feels heavy and what matters most. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying troubling thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce distress.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences together and recommend whether CBT, DBT skills, or a solution-focused push fits best for the situation. That decision is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these conveniences to help therapy fit into a busy life rather than requiring large schedule changes.
