About Rebecca

Rebecca Heald is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and related concerns. Her background includes helping people manage changes at work and home, cope with grief, and address issues like self-esteem and impulsivity.

Rebecca draws on several practical approaches to build clear goals and steps. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought and behavior patterns and try small, workable changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus when emotions run high.

Sessions emphasize concrete strategies rather than abstract talk. Rebecca and the client set priorities, then develop straightforward steps and homework to test what helps. For people working through past harm or shocks, she uses Trauma-Focused approaches aimed at reducing distress from those memories while keeping the work manageable.

She also uses Solution-Focused methods to identify what’s already working and build on it. That approach suits people who want brief, practical progress on problems like communication breakdowns or career stress. Rebecca adapts methods to fit a person’s goals and daily life.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, relationship strain, parenting questions, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, and career or life-purpose doubts. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

How sessions work

How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on actions aligned with personal values rather than trying to eliminate difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to reduce reactivity and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to anchor attention and lower immediate emotional escalation, which can help when anger flares.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and try methods in session to see what fits. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays practical and goal-focused rather than theoretical.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking. Rebecca’s clinical approaches translate well to remote work because they use brief exercises, homework, and skills practice people can do between sessions. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support practice of mindfulness or behavioral experiments in real-life moments. Licensed professionals aim to match methods and scheduling to each person’s needs and routines.
