About Rebecca

Rebecca Stallworth is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective that highlights each client’s resources while addressing specific concerns such as relationship difficulties, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca brings a long history of individual and group psychotherapy to her practice and has supported clients through trauma recovery related to emotional and physical abuse.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. These approaches are woven into a holistic, goal-oriented process that helps clients identify practical skills, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and pursue values-based change.

Rebecca also has experience with caregiver stress, codependency, issues of abandonment and attachment, and other relational concerns. Rebecca practices in California and offers services in English and Cantonese.

She emphasizes collaboration and works with clients to build resilience, clarify life purpose, and make sustainable changes aligned with their goals.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on concrete strategies and homework to build new coping skills and reduce symptoms over time.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which blends mindfulness with values-based action so clients can make meaningful choices even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships and communication challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to decide which methods or combination of approaches best suit the client’s needs, adjusting course as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make scheduling easier for people with busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits, and allow the therapeutic work to continue from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
