About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in West Virginia and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with nine years of clinical practice. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and issues with motivation and addiction. Rebecca also works with concerns around relationships, parenting, sleep, career transitions, and anger.
Her background includes practical work supporting people through loss and major life changes. Rebecca uses conversations to help clients clarify goals and find manageable steps. She draws on approaches such as client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful.
Sessions tend to focus on everyday problems and concrete change. She uses mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming feelings and Motivational Interviewing to support movement when motivation is low. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell themselves and consider new ways of seeing difficult events.
Rebecca aims to talk through what matters most to each person and to set realistic next steps. She explains ideas plainly and checks in often about what is working. This style helps people address anger, relationship strain, grief, and the day-to-day stress that gets in the way of functioning.
If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client's priorities, and the therapist follows the client's lead while offering observations and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to test unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through breathing and grounding practices. These techniques can help reduce reactivity and make anger and anxiety feel more manageable in daily life. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. If something does not feel useful, she will adjust the plan and try another option together. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling participation from different locations when quieter surroundings and bandwidth permit. These practical benefits can help maintain continuity of care while working on anger, grief, stress, and related concerns.Areas of focus
