About Rebecca
Rebecca Hathorn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and parenting strains, grief, ADHD challenges, and concerns related to adoption and foster care. Rebecca brings a practical, down-to-earth approach and aims to create a space where clients feel heard and accepted.
Rebecca has 17 years as a licensed therapist. She has extensive experience working with foster youth, foster parents, and birth parents, and with transition-age young people. Her background includes helping people manage attachment disruptions, grief, and the everyday pressures of work and school.
Her approach centers on the connection between client and therapist. Rebecca listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and offers suggestions that clients can try between conversations. She focuses on simple, workable steps rather than long theoretical discussions.
Rebecca draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to address patterns of thought, build motivation for change, and identify small goals that lead to steady progress.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical problem solving. Rebecca aims to be straightforward and genuine in sessions so clients can explore worries, test new behavior, and make choices that fit their lives.
Rebecca offers services in English and practices in California. She encourages prospective clients to reach out with questions about fit and logistics before scheduling.
Approaches applied to remote care and practical change
Rebecca often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a trusting relationship where the client guides the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and solve everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in on what is working and adjusts techniques together as progress unfolds.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact more frequent through messaging and live chat. This can make short check-ins easier and let people follow up between sessions. Confirm the exact session formats available with the therapist before booking so arrangements match your schedule and goals.
