About Rebecca
Rebecca Andersen is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem challenges, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and life changes.
Rebecca uses straightforward conversation and grounded techniques to help people understand patterns that repeat from their family backgrounds. Sessions focus on what shows up now - thoughts, emotions, and relationships - and on practical ways to change how those patterns play out. She uses cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, narrative work to reframe personal stories, and emotionally-focused techniques to address closeness and connection.
Her practice includes attention to more specific concerns such as blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and caregiving stress. She also works with people wrestling with body image, guilt and shame, dissociation, and isolation. Rebecca draws from mindfulness approaches to help people notice reactions in the moment.
Rebecca describes her style as collaborative. She offers a mix of short-term problem-focused work and longer conversations when needed. People who want clear steps and practical tools alongside deeper reflection typically find this approach useful.
She provides services in English from Minnesota. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Rebecca uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's concerns without pushing a particular agenda. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions that influence relationships and closeness. It is useful when patterns of withdrawal, conflict, or disconnection keep repeating. Finding the best approach is part of the process. Rebecca works collaboratively to decide which methods to use based on a person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts the balance of practical tools and deeper exploration as those priorities become clearer. Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people keep continuity of care when location or routine changes occur.Areas of expertise
