About Rebecca

Rebecca Davis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in California with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Rebecca aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She centers sessions on emotional connection and practical skills. Using Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral tools, she helps people notice and name strong feelings.

Background and approach

That can make it easier to break painful patterns and try different ways of responding. Rebecca pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and the effects of abandonment or adoption histories. She also supports people dealing with substance use, domestic violence impacts, chronic illness, body image struggles, and deep emptiness.

Her work often includes teaching communication strategies and short-term coping skills to reduce intense distress. Sessions are aimed at helping people build emotional awareness, tolerate difficult feelings, and make choices that match their values. She uses mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Rebecca prefers a collaborative style where the person sets goals and the therapy plan adapts as progress is made. Her practice is intended for English-speaking adults in California. Rebecca describes therapy as a step-by-step process where small changes add up over time.

Online support

Emotion-focused and skills-based care online

Rebecca uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and make sense of strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck; this approach is often useful for addressing grief, trauma reactions, and deep relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work and means she offers a supportive, nonjudgmental listening stance so people feel heard and respected while they figure things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process allows techniques to be mixed and adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins or shorter conversations, and text-based work can help people reflect in writing. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limits while accessing a licensed professional from California.
