About Rebecca
Rebecca Gibson is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening now. Her style is grounded and practical, aimed at teaching skills people can use between sessions.
She draws from somatic and experiential methods to help people notice how the body holds stress and memories. That can include simple breathing, grounding, and body-awareness practices alongside talk therapy.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work focused on each person’s values and choices. With ten years of recent experience and a long history of training that began in the 1980s, Rebecca blends many approaches rather than following a single script. She aims to shape therapy around each person’s needs, not force a one-size-fits-all model.
This helps when concerns shift over time. Sessions often include practical tools for coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca also addresses attention concerns, intimacy issues, body image, and chronic pain in ways that connect thoughts, feelings, and bodily responses.
Her work is calm and steady, inviting people to notice what helps them feel more present and in control. If someone chooses to work with her, she focuses on building skills and awareness that support long term coping and clearer choices.
How somatic and talk approaches work online
Somatic Therapy focuses on how the body stores stress and emotion, using simple awareness, breath, and grounding practices to reduce tension and increase presence. It can be useful for trauma, chronic pain, and stress-related symptoms.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and values, with the therapist offering active listening and reflection. This approach helps people clarify choices and build self-directed coping skills.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and how people want to live. It supports those facing life changes, grief, or questions about purpose by helping them name priorities and make clearer decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods collaboratively. Clients often try different techniques over a few sessions to see what fits best.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people use therapy from home, during work breaks, or while traveling, and they make it easier to keep regular contact and practice skills between sessions.
