About Rebecca
Rebecca Heald is a licensed mental health counselor who blends evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
Background and approach
With 11 years of clinical experience and a background in working with adolescents and families, she focuses on building practical strategies that address emotional regulation, motivation, grief, relationship and family concerns, and trauma recovery.
Her practice emphasizes clear goals and stepwise plans that support progress in areas such as self-esteem, coping with change, sleep, parenting challenges, and career direction. Rebecca uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs.
She explores patterns of thinking and behavior, cultivates acceptance and values-based action, and integrates grounding and mindfulness skills when helpful. Her work also addresses issues like ADHD, bipolar and depressive symptoms, intimacy and sexuality questions, communication and family problems, and concerns tied to guilt, shame, impulsivity, and life purpose.
Based in Florida, Rebecca supports clients in creating measurable goals, then developing realistic steps and strategies to reach them. She encourages collaborative planning and gradual skill-building to help clients move toward greater balance and clarity in daily life.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, often improving symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts without fighting them, clarifying personal values, and taking small actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for stress, life transitions, and motivation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and calming practices that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity in the face of trauma or daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their specific needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so that treatment remains relevant and practical, inviting client feedback as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to integrate care into a busy life. These options support ongoing skill practice between sessions and make consistent meetings more attainable for people balancing work, school, or family responsibilities.
