About Rebecca
Rebecca Heald is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and trauma. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness to build real skills people can use every day. Rebecca has 11 years of professional experience and a longer background working with youth and families.
She focuses on issues like school and career stress, changes in family dynamics, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with burnout and compassion fatigue. Sessions begin with clear goals. Rebecca helps identify what matters most, then breaks that work into simple steps.
She mixes solution-focused techniques with CBT and ACT strategies to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful habits, and act on values that matter to them. Mindfulness exercises and trauma-informed practices are used when helpful to manage strong emotions and improve sleep and self-regulation. Rebecca also addresses practical problems such as communication difficulties, parenting strain, and impulsivity through skills practice and problem-solving.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to make therapy feel useful from the first sessions by offering short-term strategies alongside deeper work on meaning, forgiveness, and self-love. Rebecca practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
Using ACT, CBT, and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by clarifying values and guiding doable action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to improve attention, reduce reactivity, and support emotion regulation during stressful moments.Finding which blend of approaches fits best is part of the process. Rebecca works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. That means sessions can mix short problem-solving steps with values work, skills practice, or trauma-informed strategies depending on need.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier during a busy day or when lower bandwidth is needed, and chat or text options support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
