About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with ten years in the mental health field. She practices in California and speaks English. Rebecca aims to make the first visit straightforward and focused on what brought someone to therapy.
She begins with an intake that naturally includes questions about current concerns and a basic mental status check. That information helps her and the client pick clear goals together. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Rebecca offers practical support for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to intimacy and relationships. She also works with people managing ADHD, sleep problems, parenting stress, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in homes, schools, community settings, agencies, and a personal office.
She has supported people with histories of foster care and adoption, chronic illness, and those living with trauma-related symptoms. Rebecca uses approaches that center the client and focus on skills and short-term progress. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice mindfulness to calm strong emotions.
Clients have a say throughout treatment and shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Approaches that guide online work
Rebecca blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and decide the goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how life feels. These approaches suit stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and some ADHD-related challenges.She also uses mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and improve focus over time. Together these approaches are used in a collaborative way so the therapist and client test what helps most for the person’s goals.
Rebecca will work with each person to choose the best mix of approaches based on needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift as progress is made. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit different routines.
Video calls are useful for full conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or shorter contacts when writing feels most helpful.
