About Rebecca
Rebecca Jarrell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience. She practices from Texas and uses practical approaches to help people facing grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes.

She blends body-focused work with talking therapies to help people notice how stress and memories show up in the body.
Background and approach
Somatic therapy is paired with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to address unhelpful thinking, strong emotions, and coping skills. Sessions often include simple grounding and breathing tools that can be used at home. Her background includes work in psychiatric offices, inpatient hospitals, and independent practice.
That range gives her familiarity with both crisis support and longer-term therapy. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Sam Houston State University. Rebecca also focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and grief work.
She is a Certified Grief Educator and offers clear guidance for loss and end-of-life topics. Practical steps and small changes are emphasized rather than long lectures. Therapy with her centers on collaboration.
She helps people identify realistic goals and build skills one step at a time. Sessions use language that ordinary people understand and aim to leave clients with tools to manage daily stress and stronger connections with themselves and others.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
Somatic therapy helps people notice how tension, breath, and body sensations relate to feelings and memories. In online sessions this can mean simple body awareness exercises, paced breathing, and gentle movement prompts to help reduce overwhelm and connect sensations to emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood and then testing and changing them. It often uses short at-home exercises and worksheets that people can do between video or phone sessions to see quick shifts in thinking and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Skills include distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful present-moment practice that translate well to video or text-based check-ins.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then suggest techniques to try. Plans are adjusted as needs change so the work stays practical and focused.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options let people fit sessions around busy days, revisit written summaries, and use brief check-ins when needed. For many, remote formats make it easier to practice skills in the real places where problems occur.
