About Rebecca
Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 11 years of clinical experience. She began her career teaching high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders and later moved into community mental health work. She combines that background with an interest in art when helping people manage difficult feelings and situations.
She commonly helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Attachment issues, caregiver stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose are additional areas she addresses.
Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches. She aims to help clients understand their emotions and relationship patterns while building practical ways to manage symptoms.
Rebecca has worked in school-based, in-home, office, and telehealth settings earlier in her career. That range has given her experience with many formats and many different kinds of people. She says she collaborates with clients to set goals and figure out steps they can use outside sessions.
Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals and on noticing patterns in feelings and interactions. She integrates mindfulness and somatic ideas when helpful. People who want help with emotional connection, clearer communication, or learning new coping skills may find this approach useful.
Online work using EFT, ACT, and attachment ideas
Rebecca uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name hard-to-reach emotions and patterns in close relationships. EFT focuses on feelings and interaction cycles and can be helpful for people who struggle with emotional connection or repeating harmful relationship patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take small committed steps toward meaningful change. Attachment-Based Therapy is part of her focus on how early and adult attachment patterns shape responses to stress and relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which approaches to try first. That choice can change as the work progresses, and the therapist and client check in together about what is helping.
The biography lists prior telehealth experience but does not specify current session formats, so please confirm available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to be on camera for parts of a session. Licensed professionals and therapists often use online work to bring therapy into everyday routines while focusing on emotion, behavior, and relationship patterns.
