About Rebecca
Rebecca Murray is an Illinois-based Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and depression.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship and family concerns, issues around self-esteem, coping with life transitions, and workplace or control-related challenges. Her practice includes attention to complex topics such as domestic violence, family of origin matters, first responder issues, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.
Rebecca favors practical, skill-focused interventions and frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a foundation for treatment while integrating trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. She aims to help clients develop concrete strategies to manage panic, mood swings, impulsivity, and seasonal mood challenges, as well as to work through guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that people can make meaningful change when offered thoughtful guidance and tools. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through various remote formats that fit clients’ schedules.
Rebecca holds an Illinois LCPC (IL LCPC 180010788) and brings a calm, structured presence to work alongside individuals as they pursue clearer coping skills and personal growth.
Online approaches for trauma and symptom-focused care
Rebecca commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, and workplace stress. She also incorporates EMDR and trauma-focused techniques to address distressing memories and the emotional impact of traumatic events, using structured interventions to reduce the intensity of traumatic symptoms.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to review their history, current concerns, and goals, and then tailors a plan that may combine CBT strategies with trauma-focused work when needed. This collaborative stance helps clients understand why a particular method is recommended and how it aligns with their priorities.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to access ongoing therapy from home or work and support continuity of care when in-person visits aren’t feasible. Licensed professionals can adapt session pacing and techniques across these formats to help clients progress toward clearer coping and symptom relief.
