About Rebecca
Rebecca Holland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and changes in life circumstances. Rebecca also addresses issues like addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, grief, trauma, and mood challenges.
She frames the client as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Rebecca prefers clear, direct work that helps reduce overwhelming feelings and improves day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and for learning better ways to respond when anger or panic arises. Mindfulness techniques are offered to improve attention and reduce reactivity.
Rebecca works with issues tied to relationships, attachment, and communication, including abandonment and control concerns. She also helps with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and life transitions such as separation and grief. The focus is on concrete strategies rather than long theoretical discussions.
Sessions move at a steady, practical pace. People can expect straightforward feedback, skill teaching, and collaborative goal setting. She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing new responses, and using exercises between meetings to test what works. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills; these are taught and practiced in session and used during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will review your concerns, try options that fit your goals, and adjust methods as you go. That process helps both people who react with anger and those who live with others' anger find workable strategies.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Once confirmed, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. It may let people avoid travel, use shorter check-ins when needed, and try skills practice in real time. Therapists and licensed professionals often find online sessions useful for keeping momentum between appointments and making steady progress.
