Rebecca Phelps-Smith

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in the beautiful Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, with extensive experience working across a variety of clinical settings. As an evidence-based, solution-focused therapist, I support individuals of all ages in navigating challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and body image concerns, disordered eating, substance use, anger management, relationship and family issues, grief, and PTSD.

With a strong background in emergency services, crisis intervention, and suicide risk assessment, I bring a deep understanding of the impact of vicarious trauma. I’m especially passionate about working with law enforcement, first responders, and professionals in high-stress environments—helping them develop effective coping strategies and offering a safe, supportive space to process their experiences without judgment.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility – individuals can meet with a therapist using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, choosing the format that works best for their schedule and comfort. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain continuity of care amid busy lives. All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they would like a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, evidence-aligned option for addressing everyday mental health concerns and finding support that fits their routine.
