About Rebecca

LMFT Rebecca Knutson is a Minnesota licensed marriage and family therapist with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ issues. Rebecca works in English and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions.

Rebecca frames sessions around listening and collaboration. She asks direct questions, reflects what she hears, and works with people to identify manageable next steps. Sessions often address communication skills, attachment patterns, coping for mood challenges, and practical strategies for stress and anxiety.

Many clients bring concerns about identity, relationships, or past trauma. Rebecca supports exploration of relationship structures and sexual expression without judgment. She also helps people who are caregiving, facing grief or dissociation, or dealing with patterns such as codependency and avoidance.

Her approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. That means attention to how past experiences shape current reactions, and adjusting pace to what each person needs. She uses evidence-based techniques to reduce symptoms and build clearer communication and self-understanding.

Rebecca notes that some work focuses on repairing family of origin patterns and improving day-to-day interactions. Other work targets practical skills for coping with workplace stress, caregiver strain, or the distress that follows abuse. People who want direct, practical conversation about these topics tend to fit her style.

To begin, the site process asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Rebecca does not take international clients.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address presenting problems. For example, trauma-informed practice focuses on understanding how past hurt affects current reactions and helps people learn skills to manage triggers and distress. Cognitive and behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will review your concerns and goals in the first sessions and suggest approaches that fit your situation. She treats this as a collaboration and may adjust methods based on what is most helpful. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can remove commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or reduce the need to arrange childcare. Talk with the therapist about what format and scheduling will fit your routine and needs.
