Rebecca Marrs, LMFT

Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked across many settings and age groups and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and concerns related to identity and intimacy. Rebecca also supports people facing sleep problems, parenting challenges, career questions, and the pressures of life transitions.

Her background includes work with people from foster care and adoption backgrounds, survivors of domestic violence, and those coping with chronic illness or disability. She has experience supporting people who identify as LGBTQ and those managing conditions such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and OCD. Rebecca has worked in homes, schools, community settings, agencies, and office practice.

In early sessions she completes an intake that includes a mental status check and a conversation about why someone has come to therapy. She uses that information to set shared goals with each person. Rebecca describes the initial process as collaborative, and she invites clients to have input at every step.

Her practice includes several therapeutic approaches. She draws from client-centered methods to center the person’s experience, uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and applies trauma-focused strategies when past trauma affects present functioning. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of her work.

Rebecca aims to help people feel heard and understood while they work toward practical changes. She encourages clear communication about goals and progress so each person knows what to expect as therapy continues.
