About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with four years of practice. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and grief. Rebekah also supports people facing issues with eating, sleeping, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Rebekah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she focuses on identifying emotions that are hard to name and noticing the patterns those emotions create. She works with each person to name what is happening and try different responses to old patterns.
Her style is straightforward and problem-focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people set small, manageable steps toward change. Sessions often include talking through recent interactions, noticing how feelings show up in the body, and practicing new ways of responding.
Rebekah has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, blended family issues, codependency, domestic violence, addiction, dissociation, and the impact of disasters. She also helps with aging and geriatric concerns, family of origin problems, and personality-related issues such as avoidant or dependent traits.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a structure aimed at clarity and steady progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her EFT and related approaches work for online sessions
Rebekah practices Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on naming and working with emotions that shape how people relate to themselves and others. EFT is often used when emotions are hard to identify or when familiar patterns keep repeating.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, and Attachment-Based approaches that pay attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Each approach offers concrete ways to recognize feelings and try new responses for everyday problems like anxiety, grief, or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebekah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use EFT, ACT, or attachment ideas in a collaborative way. She helps clients test whether a method feels useful and adjusts based on what actually helps.
