About Rebecca
Rebecca Sperber is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. Rebecca uses clear, straightforward language and practical conversation to help clients sort through problems and decide on next steps.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and interaction patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy is part of how she understands relationship dynamics and why certain reactions repeat. Rebecca also uses Client-Centered methods to follow the pace clients prefer and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when concrete tools are helpful.
In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and on skills that can reduce distress between meetings. She helps people name hard emotions, notice repeating patterns, and try small changes in how they communicate. When habits around substances or behaviors are present she brings a practical, motivational approach to support change.
Rebecca has worked with concerns that come with aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, cancer, body image, codependency, and blended family issues. She also addresses attachment problems, abandonment worries, commitment and control issues, and communication struggles.

How Rebecca combines EFT, attachment work, and practical skills online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape relationship patterns and personal reactions. It helps people name feelings and try new ways of responding in close relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to explain why certain fears or defenses appear. This approach helps clarify what drives repeated conflicts and where trust or closeness gets blocked.
Client-Centered methods emphasize a respectful, person-led pace where the client's concerns guide each session. That approach supports people who prefer to set the agenda and move at their own speed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. She combines emotion-focused exploration with practical CBT or DBT skills as needed, and adjusts the plan over time.
