About Rebecca
Rebecca Andersen is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and changes at work or home. She uses a straightforward, compassionate style so clients can talk about what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding, not jargon.
With 21 years of experience, Rebecca draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotions, then helps clients try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
The work often looks at communication, attachment needs, and unspoken hurts that keep problems repeating. Rebecca also brings narrative and mindfulness techniques into conversations. Narrative work helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they carry.
Mindfulness tools help with grounding during stress and reducing intense reactions. She has helped people facing parenting strains, blended family questions, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. Rebecca also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, body image, caregiving stress, and difficult feelings like guilt or shame.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Rebecca focuses on what a client wants to change and tests small shifts in thinking and behavior. Over time, clients often report clearer choices and more satisfying connections with others.

Online support
How emotion-focused approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions that shape relationship patterns. Online sessions let clients bring these moments into conversations so they can practice new responses and feel understood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to lead the conversation while a therapist follows and reflects what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to test new choices. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it breaks big problems into manageable steps and measurable experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This happens collaboratively: you and the therapist check what feels helpful and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice relationship conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats to see what helps most.
