About Rebecca

Rebecca Stallworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 38 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strains, and life changes. She also helps people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep or eating problems, and issues related to identity and career.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses talk therapy and skill practice to help people notice patterns, respond differently to triggers, and manage strong emotions without shame. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused techniques, and problem-solving steps. Rebecca draws on client-centered work to keep the session focused on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Rebecca has a long history of working in both individual and group settings. That background shows up in how she structures sessions - a mix of steady conversation, short exercises, and homework people can try between meetings. She has experience helping veterans cope with trauma and transition, and she has provided grief counseling and support for caregiver stress.

People who come to her for anger concerns can expect concrete tools to reduce reactivity and to rebuild communication after outbursts. She also addresses underlying issues like abandonment, attachment or control problems when those are part of the pattern. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.

Rebecca speaks English and Cantonese. She works with a wide range of life concerns including ADHD, bipolar challenges, codependency, and issues around forgiveness and guilt. To begin, clients follow the usual intake steps to match goals and outline a plan.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them. It emphasizes values-based action so someone can move toward what matters despite anger or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear strategies and practice to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing strong emotion and for regulating interpersonal conflict. It offers concrete breathing, grounding, and communication skills to use when tensions rise.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them as you go, so sessions stay practical and focused on measurable steps.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm the available session options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit short skill-focused check-ins into a lunch break, use video when visual cues help, or choose phone sessions for lower bandwidth needs. These practical choices help people try techniques in real life between meetings and build habits without reshuffling their whole day.
