About Rebecca
Rebecca Andersen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.
Rebecca helps clients sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens to the practical and emotional parts of a problem, then talks through steps people can try between sessions. She uses familiar tools from cognitive approaches, narrative work, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and make small changes.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients help set the goals and decide which methods to use. Rebecca draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the concern, and she pairs that with client-centered listening and cognitive strategies.
She has worked with many kinds of life transitions and relationship strains, including divorce, blended family issues, infidelity, caregiving stress, and cancer-related concerns. Rebecca also supports people dealing with trauma, dissociation, codependency, and isolation.
Sessions typically focus on clear, manageable steps and on building skills for handling strong emotions. Rebecca emphasizes understanding how past family dynamics and current patterns connect, then testing new ways of relating and thinking. The process is paced to fit each person's goals and daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rebecca often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and interaction patterns in relationships, helping people name feelings and notice how they affect connection. Client-Centered Therapy is used to focus on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist responding to what matters most in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical steps and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on how things are going. That means the early sessions often include trying different ways of working together to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, let people join from different locations, and reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or audio-only conversations when video is not convenient. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
