About Rebecca
Rebecca Zabinski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and a wide range of life challenges. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at helping someone find steadier footing in daily life.
She often helps with relationship stress, parenting concerns, sleep troubles, anger, and issues tied to identity and trauma. Rebecca uses clear, practical conversation to identify what feels most urgent.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans. Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. That means she listens first, then helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior.
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also part of how she helps people build new habits and choices. Rebecca has worked with clients who have experienced foster care, abandonment, abuse, and medical challenges. She also has experience supporting people with autism spectrum traits, mood disorders, and co-occurring concerns.
Her experience includes helping with career shifts, addictions, and navigating major life changes. In sessions she aims to be compassionate and practical. Rebecca partners with each person to shape goals and steps that fit their life.
She guides conversations so people can practice new skills between sessions and track progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit real life
Rebecca commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person’s experience and goals, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering empathy and understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and difficulties with attention and routines.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. That approach can help when relationship stress, trust issues, or repeated conflicts keep coming up. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; Rebecca helps clients identify goals and then tests methods that match those goals and personal preferences.
Online sessions give practical options for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or more frequent contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to practice skills in everyday settings.
