About

Rebecca Shaughnessy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience who offers an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy. She is passionate about helping people reconnect with their inner strength and resilience, especially during seasons when familiar strategies like "I just need to try harder" no longer feel effective. Her work is collaborative and grounded in the belief that meaningful change can begin with one small, manageable step.

Rebecca places strong value on the therapeutic relationship, viewing it as a supportive bridge between where a person is today and where they hope to be. She partners with clients to explore what is happening beneath the surface, identify practical paths forward, and build skills that support steady progress over time.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, mood disorders, OCD, and panic disorder, and also supports women navigating life challenges. Whatever someone is facing, Rebecca invites clients to explore it together and begin the process of change with guidance and encouragement.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while building motivation to move toward what matters most. It can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, or life transitions make it hard to feel grounded.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Rebecca Shaughnessy may use CBT strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, practice new coping skills, and take practical steps forward when depression, anxiety, panic, or OCD symptoms feel overwhelming.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, collaborative relationship where clients can explore concerns at their own pace. This approach can be a good fit for people who want a steady space to sort through grief, trauma experiences, relationship stress, or changes in identity and roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the work over time so therapy feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that fits real life. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing energy levels, and different communication styles.
