About Rebecca
Rebecca Westgate helps people manage overwhelming emotions like anger, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. Rebecca is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience in mental health care.
Her sessions are direct and practical. She listens first, then helps clients build small skills to reduce strong reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Parents reading on a phone will find straightforward language and clear steps to try between sessions.
Background and approach
Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and plan goals. She emphasizes coping strategies, skill practice, and gradual progress rather than quick fixes. Her tone is calm and steady, focused on what can be done now.
In the therapy room she prioritizes safety and clarity. People are invited to talk through painful memories and current triggers at a pace that feels manageable. She helps people notice patterns that feed anger and anxiety and teaches alternatives to those patterns.
Rebecca works with a variety of stress-related concerns, including post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and attachment or abandonment worries. Her work aims to help people feel more in control of strong emotions and more connected to themselves over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach she uses is cognitive behavioral work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and angry reactions. Another method she draws from is trauma-focused processing, which helps people gently address painful memories and learn grounding and coping skills to manage flashbacks or strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Sessions by video allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get ongoing support without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while focusing on steady progress.
