About Rebecca
Rebecca Markonni is a Michigan-licensed social worker with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, ADHD, addictions, anger, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca has spent significant time in crisis intervention and has worked with people from many backgrounds and life situations.
She approaches sessions with the assumption that each person knows their story best. Rebecca builds on strengths and practical skills rather than lecturing. Sessions focus on clear steps someone can use between meetings to manage mood, reduce reactivity, and improve communication.
Her methods draw from attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT skills, and elements of the Gottman Method. That mix is used to help people understand patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and practice different ways of responding when anger or anxiety rises.
Rebecca often helps clients who face trauma, relationship strain, abandonment concerns, loneliness, or career stress. She also supports people coping with midlife changes, financial worries, veteran and first responder issues, and panic attacks. Practical problem-solving and skill practice are common in sessions.
Clients can expect a straightforward, skills-focused approach that addresses what’s happening now and builds tools for next steps. Rebecca also helps people sort through complicated feelings like guilt, shame, and grief so they can make clearer decisions about relationships and work.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT gives concrete steps to test a thought or change a routine, which can reduce anger and anxiety responses.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT teaches short practices for calming down, managing urges, and improving impulse control during tense moments.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness issues. This helps people see how early relationship styles affect current reactions and communication with partners or coworkers.
Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust them as needed. That process helps match skills to the problems a person brings and makes sessions more practical.
