Rebecca Levenson-Smith, LCPC

Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She worked as a high school teacher for students with emotional and behavioral disorders before moving into counseling. Rebecca brings a background in art and years of community mental health work to her practice.

She has provided services in school-based settings, in-home, office, and via telehealth. Her caseload has included people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, addiction, and stressful life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns and problems with mood regulation and self-esteem.

Rebecca uses several therapeutic approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions tend to focus on increasing understanding of patterns, building coping skills, and improving communication when relationships are affected.

Her earlier teaching experience informs a practical, straightforward style. She helps clients notice what keeps problems going and learn small, usable strategies to respond differently. She also draws on art and mindfulness when those methods are helpful.

Rebecca describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with people to set clear goals, test new approaches between sessions, and adjust plans as progress and obstacles appear.
