About Rebecca

Rebecca Phillips is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of experience. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Rebecca encourages clients to notice what they already know about their life and values, then try small changes that feel manageable.

She uses mindfulness-based tools to help reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. Rebecca also draws from client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace and from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. These approaches are used together to help clients handle anxiety, depression, grief, and big life transitions.

Her work includes support around LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, career and workplace stress, and questions about sexuality and gender. She also addresses codependency, divorce and separation, money worries, and finding life purpose in midlife or young adulthood. Rebecca offers coaching-style work for career and executive concerns as well as counseling for compassion fatigue and burnout.

Sessions are offered in English and based in Texas. She holds LMFT credentials and is licensed in Texas and Arizona. The first meeting typically focuses on what you want to change and how to take the next small step. Rebecca aims to guide people toward practical routines and clearer choices that fit their day-to-day life.

How Rebecca uses mindfulness and practical therapy online

Rebecca commonly blends mindfulness therapy with client-centered work to help people slow down and notice what matters most. Mindfulness techniques focus on paying attention to thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions in the moment, which can help with stress, anxiety, and compassion fatigue. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities so sessions reflect each person’s pace and goals.

She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that lead to distress and to test new ways of responding. CBT-style tools can be useful for depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and relationship dilemmas. Together these approaches aim to build simple habits and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as goals shift.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can tailor the pacing and focus of online sessions to match everyday life and practical goals.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
