About Rebecca
Rebecca Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 11 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Rebecca also supports clients facing workplace issues, panic and mood disorders, and concerns tied to first responder work.
Her approach centers on practical, short-term tools alongside deeper trauma work when needed. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to build alternatives. Rebecca also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR techniques when trauma symptoms are a central concern.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-orientated. She helps people set clear aims, practice new skills between meetings, and notice small changes that reduce anger and reactivity over time. Rebecca combines this with an Internal Family Systems perspective to look at conflicting inner parts when emotions feel overwhelming.
She has experience addressing control issues, impulsivity, guilt and shame, family of origin problems, and end-of-life concerns. Rebecca also works with people coping with isolation, midlife questions, and finding meaning after loss.
Practical steps take priority in her work. Expect conversations that move from understanding patterns to trying different responses in daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her methods translate to remote sessions
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT focuses on practical steps like testing beliefs, changing responses, and building calmer routines that work in daily life.She also incorporates EMDR and Trauma-Focused Therapy for clients whose anger is tied to past trauma. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps map how past events affect current reactions and then develops strategies to lessen those reactions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Rebecca will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and adapt the plan based on the client’s goals and how they respond. The process often begins with skill-building through CBT and adds trauma-focused interventions when needed.
