About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, based in California with ten years in the mental health field. She works directly with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and other life transitions. Rebecca aims to make the first steps easy and clear for someone seeking help.
Rebecca draws on straightforward assessment during early sessions, including an intake that looks at current concerns and a basic mental status check. She uses that information to build goals alongside the person in therapy rather than setting goals for them. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.
Her approach mixes listening and skill teaching. Rebecca uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused ideas when past events keep affecting daily life.
Rebecca has worked in many settings over her career, including homes, schools, community programs, agencies, and an office. She has experience with people from foster care and adoption backgrounds, those affected by chronic illness, and people with a range of diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. That variety informs how she tailors sessions to each person's needs.
In therapy with Rebecca, people can expect collaboration, respect, and options. She encourages people to name their goals and to take an active role in planning each step forward.
How Rebecca's approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and following what they say matters most. This approach helps people clarify priorities and feel heard, which can be done through online conversations and check-ins.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, sleep problems, or low mood. CBT often uses short exercises and homework that fit well into remote sessions and daily life.
Trauma-focused methods attend to how past events affect current feelings and reactions, using careful pacing and stabilization skills before addressing difficult memories. These techniques aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning over time.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Rebecca will review concerns and goals with each person and recommend a path that matches their needs and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress is made and as priorities shift.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills between sessions in their everyday environment while discussing what works and what needs to change.
