About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with over ten years in the mental health field. She meets people where they are and focuses on understanding why someone has decided to start therapy. Rebecca uses an intake conversation that includes a mental status exam and a collaborative plan so clients help set the goals they'll work toward.
Her experience spans many settings, including homes, schools, community outreach, agency work, and a private office. She has worked with people coming from foster care and adoption backgrounds and with those who have histories of trauma or domestic violence. She has also supported people facing relationship shifts such as separation, divorce, or reunification.
Sessions begin with practical questions about current concerns and goals. Rebecca listens for immediate needs and helps build a plan of short- and longer-term steps. She aims to create an environment where people feel heard, understood, and validated while keeping them involved in decisions about care.
Rebecca brings approaches that encourage active problem solving and present-focused work alongside attention to traumatic experiences when needed. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, practice new skills, and use mindfulness to manage stress and anxiety. The work is usually a mix of talking, skill practice, and checking progress over time.
People come for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and challenges related to attention and chronic illness. Rebecca invites clients to shape each step of the process and to raise questions as therapy moves forward.
How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at your pace; it helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus.Choosing the best approach is something the therapist and client do together. Rebecca will talk about options, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. The plan evolves with your goals, needs, and preferences so the work stays relevant and doable.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the day. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring notes or exercises into the session for review. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps to remote work while tracking progress across appointments.
