About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. She uses clear, practical strategies so people can feel steadier in day-to-day life. Rebekah aims to make the first step into therapy less intimidating with a warm, nonjudgmental approach.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about painful memories, family conflict, or the pressures of work and parenting.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning coping skills for strong emotions, improving communication, and setting small goals that add up to real change. Rebekah draws on therapy approaches that emphasize values, behavior change, and emotional awareness.
With four years of clinical experience, she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, depression and grief, eating and sleeping struggles, and challenges linked to ADHD or bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, substance use, and codependency patterns.
Her background includes helping people rebuild after natural or human-caused disasters and navigate family of origin issues. Rebekah blends several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. That might mean learning new thinking patterns, practicing emotion regulation skills, or exploring attachment and relationship patterns.
She encourages collaboration so clients help shape their own path forward. Practical matters are handled through online options like video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is set after completing a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by teaching practical tools to change reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be used when feelings feel intense or relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is a process and happens together. The therapist will talk about goals, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be shaped around their needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions or live chat work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Text-based messaging can support progress between sessions and make it easier to keep momentum. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while still using the same therapeutic tools and skills.
