About Rebecca

Rebecca Gibson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of documented experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. Sessions also address self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Her approach centers on listening and asking practical questions. She blends client-centered work with narrative and mindfulness techniques to help people name patterns from their upbringing and see how those patterns play out now. She also incorporates somatic ideas and hypnotherapy when appropriate to help with stress, pain, and trauma-related concerns.

Rebecca emphasizes teaching skills people can use between sessions. That can mean practicing mindfulness exercises, trying new ways to tell your story, or using body-focused strategies to manage tension. She aims to help people notice old habits and test different ways of responding.

Her background includes early training and internship experience in Austin in the 1980s and ongoing work since becoming an LPC in Texas. This mix of long-term practice and varied clinical methods informs how she works with clients now.

If someone chooses to work with her, sessions focus on practical questions and brief experiments as well as listening. The focus is on what is happening in a person's life now and on building skills that support change outside of the session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Rebecca uses client-centered work to focus on the person in front of her. That means listening carefully, reflecting what she hears, and using the client's priorities to guide each session. It helps with relationship concerns and issues that come from family patterns.

She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe stories they've been telling about themselves. That approach can make it easier to spot recurring roles or expectations from childhood and try new ways of relating. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and quiet racing thoughts.

Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful. That discussion is part of the work rather than a one-time choice.

Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular sessions around work and family commitments. It also allows exercises and mindfulness practice to be assigned for use between meetings so the learning continues in everyday life.
