About Rebecca
Rebecca Holland is an LCSW based in Illinois who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, sleep and eating issues, and other life changes.
Background and approach
She brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice and works from the perspective that clients hold important knowledge about their own lives while also benefiting from professional guidance. Rebecca emphasizes practical strategies alongside personal strengths to help clients move through symptoms like panic, bipolar mood shifts, postpartum depression, and attention-related challenges.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices to address emotional regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, and present-moment awareness. Rebecca also focuses on areas such as attachment and abandonment wounds, communication and control issues, caregiver stress, body image, and the fallout of divorce or separation.
She aims to create a collaborative working relationship that helps people clarify goals, build coping skills, and discover more effective ways to respond to life stressors while honoring each person’s values and experience.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Rebecca often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic; it uses structured exercises and practical strategies to change thinking patterns. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially helpful for intense mood swings, relationship conflict, and coping with overwhelming emotions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor techniques from these therapies to fit the individual’s situation. This collaborative exploration helps determine which skills and exercises are most useful at different stages of treatment.
Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home, and continue treatment during life transitions while using evidence-informed methods adapted for remote work.
