Rebecca Holland

Rebecca Holland is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with eating and body image. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and communication problems, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people make practical changes that fit into daily life.

Rebecca emphasizes the client’s own knowledge about their life. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and focuses on small, achievable steps. Sessions tend to center on real situations and concrete skills rather than long lectures or abstract theory.

Her work draws on evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. These tools are used to help manage overwhelming emotions, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and build better coping habits. Rebecca explains techniques plainly and practices them in ways that are easy to use between sessions.

With 12 years of experience and an Illinois LCSW, Rebecca has spent time helping people navigate life changes such as divorce, caregiving stress, postpartum mood shifts, and relapse in addictive behaviors. She pays attention to issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and guilt so those themes can be addressed alongside surface symptoms.

Rebecca works in English and focuses on practical problem solving that respects each person’s pace. To begin, she asks questions about goals and daily life so treatment matches what matters most to the client.

How Rebecca uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness online

Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage strong feelings and improve interpersonal reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Rebecca treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She explains techniques plainly and adapts them to how a person prefers to learn and practice skills.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around busy schedules, allow short check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills in the places where they live their lives. If a quieter setting, less bandwidth use, or a brief focused session would help, discuss those preferences when scheduling so sessions suit daily routines.
