About Rebecca
Rebecca Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career working with children who had significant behavioral and mental health needs and later moved into practice with adults who have intellectual disabilities. Rebecca lists relationship, family, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with life changes among the concerns she addresses.
Her early work with children shaped a direct, practical style. She learned to break problems into small steps and to focus on observable patterns of behavior. That approach carried over when she worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, helping them and their caregivers navigate everyday challenges and emotional concerns.
Rebecca also has experience supporting parents of adopted children who struggle with attachment and related behaviors. She talks through communication problems, blended family issues, and the stress that caregivers carry. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the fallout of divorce or separation.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to map problems and practice different ways of responding. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills people can use between meetings.
Rebecca describes clients as the experts in their stories and helps them identify strengths they already have. She asks practical questions, sets manageable steps, and repeats what works until it becomes a new habit. If someone wants to explore changes in relationships, family dynamics, or personal feelings of guilt and shame, she provides a steady, unhurried approach to that work.
How Rebecca uses CBT and solution-focused work online
Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In CBT she and a client identify unhelpful thought patterns, try alternative ways of thinking, and practice small behavioral experiments to see what changes. That approach often helps with guilt, shame, anxiety, and recurring relationship patterns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. This method focuses on what the client wants to see happen next and on practical steps that build momentum. It can be useful for people who want quick, concrete changes in communication, coping, or daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust plans as those needs change. The focus is on clear goals, doable steps, and checking what actually works in daily life.
