About Rebecca
Rebecca Dykes is an LCSW with 20 years of experience in mental health in Florida. She combines clinical practice with academic work as a college professor and department chair. She often brings faith-informed perspectives into sessions when clients request them.
Rebecca aims to meet people where they are and walk alongside them during hard seasons. Her approach is practical and direct, yet warm. She focuses on everyday challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps people who are navigating ADHD, parenting pressures, grief, career strain, substance use concerns, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca has worked in many settings, including inpatient and outpatient care, forensic and court settings, and community programs. She has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, addiction, attachment and sensory regulation issues, and the stresses of military deployment and reintegration.
She has also worked with pastors and ministry leaders facing spiritual burnout. Her clinical tools include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. In sessions she uses these tools to build coping skills, improve communication, and set achievable goals.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Rebecca offers several online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Some Saturday phone sessions and evening text sessions are available by request.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to pair people with therapy time that fits their needs.
How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects concerns, offers empathy, and helps the client set their own goals so work stays relevant to daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. Online CBT often includes short skill-building exercises, thought records, and practical homework to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve focus.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When used online, DBT techniques can be practiced in session and reinforced with brief coaching via text or chat when appropriate.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy gives flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are helpful for more in-depth work, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short ongoing coaching or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.
