About Rebecca
Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a licensed clinician in Maryland with an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential. She brings more than 11 years of experience that began in special education and moved into community mental health.
Her background includes work in schools, in homes, clinics, and through telehealth, so she is comfortable offering different ways to meet a person where they are. She emphasizes practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and anger.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills to manage strong emotions and on finding clearer ways to respond to life changes. She aims to help people strengthen relationships and improve emotional connection when that is a goal. Rebecca blends several approaches rather than relying on a single method.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values and goals, and attachment-informed work to understand how close relationships affect feelings and behavior. Client-centered listening makes space for each person’s experience. In sessions she helps people identify goals, notice patterns that get in the way, and try new ways of responding.
Therapy also includes practical coping tools such as mindfulness exercises and behavior-focused steps to reduce distress between sessions. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that add up over time. Her experience across settings informs a flexible style.
Rebecca aims to be collaborative, straightforward, and calm while helping people build on their strengths and handle difficult emotions like anger and grief.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rebecca often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. Adjustments are made together as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy with Rebecca is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face for deeper conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing through thoughts feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity between sessions.
