About Rebecca

Rebecca Davis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She offers straightforward, practical support for everyday emotional difficulties.

Rebecca helps clients talk through difficult feelings and learn skills for clearer communication. She works with issues that include attachment and abandonment, family of origin problems, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care. She also supports people facing substance misuse, domestic violence history, chronic illness, body image concerns, and the emotional fallout of disasters.

Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to notice and work with core emotions that are hard to name. She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach practical coping skills. Mindfulness practices are blended in to help with moment-to-moment regulation.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Rebecca aims to help people identify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating, and build better day-to-day coping. She emphasizes skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Rebecca is based in California and works in English. Her profile notes that international clients are not accepted. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Rebecca brings EFT and skills work into online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying core emotions and how they shape relationship and personal patterns. It helps people name feelings that feel confusing and practice different responses to those feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and pacing, focusing sessions around what the client brings and notices in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear techniques to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single fixed method, and adjustments are made over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions may be helpful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while video sessions let the therapist observe nonverbal cues and practice interactional skills. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step to find what works best for daily life.
