About Rebecca
Rebecca Wedel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on Narrative work alongside other practical approaches. She centers the conversation on each person’s story to help them make sense of difficult events and choices. Rebecca believes a good therapeutic relationship comes first.
She builds trust through listening, gentle questions, and clear goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. She draws on several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered care.
Background and approach
Those methods are used to address addictions, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem struggles. Rebecca tailors tools to the issue at hand rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes nine years of clinical work across settings like medical-surgical care, inpatient psychiatry, rehab, and support for people facing high-risk pregnancy and miscarriage.
That variety informs a practical style that balances problem-solving skills with attention to feelings. Rebecca has lived through frequent moves and parenting transitions, and she often helps people juggling caregiving duties for elderly relatives while raising children. She also supports people dealing with family-of-origin concerns, body image and eating issues, career stress, and end-of-life or hospice matters.
Outside of sessions she enjoys yoga, gardening, and college basketball. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to help people clarify their perceptions and find manageable next steps.

How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Rebecca blends Narrative work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in straightforward ways. Narrative work helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and change unhelpful narratives that cause pain. ACT focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. She will ask about what matters most to you, what has helped before, and how you prefer to work. Together you can try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like a barrier. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for short check-ins, written reflection, and scheduling flexibility without needing a set appointment length. These formats help people balance therapy with caregiving, work, and busy days.
