About Rebecca

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (IL LCPC) with 11 years of experience, Rebecca Murray helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with control issues, domestic violence, family of origin concerns, first responder strain, guilt and shame, and workplace problems.

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems in her practice. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and processing difficult memories. She combines structured tools with reflective conversation to address emotions and behaviors.

In a typical session she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She guides emotional processing where trauma or painful memories are present. Work may include skills for panic, mood management, or grief coping as needed.

Rebecca draws on more than a decade of clinical experience in Illinois. She frames goals collaboratively and adjusts methods to fit what each person needs. Progress is tracked with specific goals and steps, rather than vague promises.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. People can expect clear explanations of methods, practical homework between sessions, and attention to how life roles and work demands affect mental health. To begin, use the site matching process to schedule an initial session.

How Rebecca applies common approaches in remote work

Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. EMDR involves structured memory processing to reduce distress linked to traumatic events and can help with trauma-related reactions.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems when relevant, working with parts of experience and past events to understand current responses. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences before choosing methods and may adjust the plan as work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in can be scheduled during a lunch break, or remote sessions can avoid travel time. The focus remains on practical skills, memory processing when needed, and regular follow-up to track progress.
