About Becky

Becky Todaro is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With 24 years of clinical experience, she draws on a variety of evidence-informed approaches to help clients build coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and pursue more stable mood regulation. Becky emphasizes that clients bring important knowledge about their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative effort to use those strengths toward meaningful change.

Her background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered methods, and Jungian perspectives, which she weaves together to meet individual needs. She has worked with concerns such as addictions, grief, intimacy and sexual issues, parenting and family dynamics, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and a host of attachment and communication difficulties.

Becky aims to support practical problem solving while also addressing deeper emotional patterns that affect daily functioning and relationships.

Online Approaches That Combine Skills and Insight

Becky frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach focuses on clear skill-building and measurable changes in day-to-day functioning. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or impulsivity are central concerns; DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Becky treats therapy as a partnership and will work with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting tools and pacing as progress unfolds.

Online formats make this collaborative work more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for scheduling flexibility, ongoing skill practice between sessions, and the ability to maintain continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT techniques effectively in remote sessions to support skill development and emotional insight.
