About Rebecca
Rebecca Chester is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with adults dealing with relationship strain, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and issues of guilt and shame.
She listens without rushing and helps people name what feels wrong. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Rebecca uses direct conversation and reflective listening to help people notice patterns that make life harder.
Her work draws on client-centered therapy to follow a person's concerns, and on cognitive behavioral therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people steady attention and reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck.
Rebecca often helps people sort through family problems, caregiving strain, and issues tied to aging or serious illness. She also supports those facing career stress, isolation, or questions about life purpose and forgiveness. Sessions look at concrete communication skills and coping strategies as well as the feelings underneath.
Her approach is straightforward. She helps people set small, manageable goals and checks progress together. If you are carrying guilt or shame about something you did, didn’t do, or who you are, she will help you talk through how it affects daily life and what practical steps you want to try next.
How Rebecca brings therapy online with evidence-based methods
Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, listening and shaping conversations around the client’s priorities. This approach helps when people want a respectful, person-focused way to talk through guilt, family problems, or grief.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or shame. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness therapy appears in sessions as simple attention practices to reduce overwhelm, notice automatic reactions, and steady emotional responses.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Rebecca will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she reviews progress together so the plan can change as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel, or choose a session style that uses less video when that is preferred. Talk with her during the first meeting about how to shape sessions so they fit into ordinary life and daily responsibilities.
