Rebecca Murray, LCPC

Rebecca Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and anger. Rebecca focuses on practical ways to ease daily stress and manage reactions that strain relationships or work life.

Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, blended with person-centered methods and trauma-focused tools when needed. Sessions involve looking at patterns of thought and behavior, and practicing different responses in real situations. She helps clients break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and build skills they can use right away.

Rebecca also uses elements from Internal Family Systems and EMDR when trauma or deeper relational patterns are present. Those methods are introduced carefully and paced to match what each person can handle. Conversations may include examining family of origin issues, control concerns, or workplace triggers that keep problems cycling.

Practical topics Rebecca addresses include coping with life changes, managing impulses, handling guilt and shame, and navigating midlife questions. She offers guidance around end-of-life and hospice concerns, and support for first responders facing job-related stress.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Rebecca encourages small, repeatable actions that reduce anger moments and build steadier moods over time. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set priorities.
