About Rebecca

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience working with adult clients. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and the kinds of life changes that come with work, relationships, and identity.

She uses straightforward, person-centered counseling and mixes in practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. Sessions are aimed at clear goals like managing overwhelm, improving sleep, or finding direction after a big change. Rebecca keeps conversations direct and respectful so clients can make steady progress.

Clients commonly work on coping with trauma, relationship strain, and career uncertainty. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping concerns, and challenges tied to identity. Rebecca addresses both emotional symptoms and day-to-day routines that affect wellbeing.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across varied adult concerns. She focuses on simple skills clients can use between sessions - behavior changes, thought patterns, and small experiments that test new ways of handling problems. This practical emphasis helps people build momentum outside the counseling hour.

Rebecca offers evening and weekend appointment options. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty about life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for stress, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will review goals, habits, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending a mix of methods. That collaboration guides which techniques to focus on in early sessions.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow for evening and weekend appointments, and reduce time spent traveling. They also make it simple to check in between commitments, try brief coaching-style sessions, or use exercises that fit into daily routines.
