About

Rebecca Dykes is an LCSW based in Florida with over 20 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, forensic, and community development settings. She combines clinical training with academic leadership as a college professor and department chair, and she integrates research interests in theology and neurotheology into her professional perspective. Her certifications include Biblical Counseling, Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She has worked with children managing attachment and sensory dysregulation, adolescents facing emotional regulation and executive functioning issues, adults affected by domestic violence or addiction, and active duty military navigating deployment and reintegration. She also offers support to pastors and ministry leaders confronting spiritual burnout.

Rebecca describes her style as direct but warm, valuing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She uses faith-based modalities when appropriate and aims to meet people where they are and walk alongside them through difficult seasons. Some Saturday phone sessions and evening text sessions are available by request; interested individuals are invited to send a message to inquire.

Remote options and therapeutic approach

Rebecca offers online care using several evidence-informed approaches adapted for remote work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supports practical skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and sessions can include collaborative skill coaching and problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on exploring thoughts and behavior patterns to build manageable steps toward change. A client-centered orientation guides the therapeutic relationship, emphasizing listening and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

These approaches can fit people who prefer a structured skills focus as well as those who want a supportive, respectful space to explore difficult seasons. Rebecca brings specialized training as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and integrates faith-informed perspectives when relevant, which can be a good match for neurodivergent people and those wishing to include spiritual concerns in treatment.

Remote sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She also offers some Saturday phone appointments and evening text sessions by request. Communication about scheduling and format is handled at intake so the care plan reflects each person’s preferences.
