About Rebecca

Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) 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 settings. Her main areas of work include stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem.

She has practiced in schools, clients' homes, clinics, and via telehealth. That background gives her experience with a wide range of challenges and settings. She also brings an art background that informs her flexible approach to therapy.

Her method blends several approaches. Rebecca draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). She also uses psychodynamic ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit a person's needs.

Sessions focus on helping people understand their symptoms and build practical skills to manage them. She works together with clients to set goals and test strategies in everyday life. This might include learning new ways to respond in relationships, practicing emotion regulation, or trying behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety.

She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns and to how past experiences shape current reactions. Rebecca aims to help people strengthen their coping, improve communication, and make changes that feel realistic. She asks about each person's goals and adapts methods to what they actually need and prefer.

How Rebecca integrates therapy approaches for remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests new responses through practice and experiments. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change repeated interaction styles that cause pain or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust the plan as progress and feedback guide the process.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified for ongoing practice. Many people value remote sessions for fitting therapy into busy schedules, shorter check-ins during a workday, or reduced travel time. Remote work can also make it easier to continue therapy across changes in daily routines. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavior experiments so they can be done between sessions and in everyday settings.
