About Rebekah

Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, sleep difficulties, and the aftereffects of trauma. The first meeting is aimed at making you feel heard and understood.

Rebekah uses simple, collaborative methods to find what works for each person. She listens closely to current struggles and daily routines, then suggests small changes to improve sleep, mood, and coping. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps that fit into real life.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed therapies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when hard emotions are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Attachment-Based work help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships feel stuck.

With four years of clinical experience, Rebekah has supported people through parenting challenges, eating and food-related issues, addiction concerns, ADHD, and major life transitions. She also addresses family of origin themes, blended family issues, and adoption or foster care related questions.

Rebekah practices in Maine and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English. If you are ready to begin, there is a short matching questionnaire to help schedule an appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when uncomfortable feelings appear; it can help with sleep routines and coping with anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns that interfere with rest and daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for intense mood swings, anger, or relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, routines, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods best match those needs and preferences, and the plan is revisited as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and offer a quieter spot for check-ins. It can also let people try skill-building between appointments and focus on specific sleep habits or coping strategies without taking long time away from work or family responsibilities.
