About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a California licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a background in neuropsychology and a practical focus on day-to-day problems like sleep, anxiety, and stress. Her work is grounded in listening first and then helping people make small, steady changes that fit their lives.
She explains thoughts, feelings, and behavior in simple terms drawn from brain science. That perspective helps when sleep is disrupted by stress, trauma, or chronic pain. Sessions aim to clarify what is keeping problems active and to try realistic strategies that can be repeated at home.
Dr. Thompson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address worry, panic, grief, and post-traumatic stress. She often pairs these approaches with practical coaching around routines, coping skills, and activity pacing to support better rest and daily functioning.
Her style is steady and collaborative. She listens with an open mind, offers clear suggestions, and expects clients to take an active role in change. People often find her calm manner helpful when tackling hard or complex issues.
Over her career she has worked with concerns that include ADHD, relationship stress, anger, self-esteem, and career strain, as well as more specialized needs such as first responder issues and traumatic brain injury. Those seeking help with sleeping or persistent fatigue will find sleep-focused strategies woven into broader treatment plans when relevant.

The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans if something isn’t working.
Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy lives easier, such as taking shorter check-ins during a work break or choosing times that don’t require travel.
