About Rebecca

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who helps people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. She works with adults across a range of concerns like depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and career strain. Her tone is calm and practical, focused on small steps that fit a busy life.

She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's perspective central. Rebecca blends methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to create clear, real-world strategies. That means conversations that lead to specific actions you can try between sessions.

Rebecca aims to build a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients set the pace. She listens for what matters most and helps clarify goals. Then she supports clients in testing changes and noticing what works.

Her background spans 18 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. Over that time she has helped people with trauma, relationship and family concerns, eating and anger issues, and coping with chronic pain or illness.

Rebecca schedules evening appointments on weekdays and offers daily and evening times on weekends. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Rebecca’s approaches work for online care

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when hard thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test small changes that reduce distress and improve routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will listen to goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which strategies to focus on and how to adapt them to daily life.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the original details. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose setups that suit their energy and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can often use these options to keep momentum between sessions and help apply new skills to everyday routines.
