About Rebecca

Dr. Rebecca Thompson brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice as a California licensed psychologist (CA Psychologist 20610).

Background and approach

Her background in neuropsychology shapes a practical, brain-informed approach that links thinking patterns, emotions, and behavior to real-life challenges. She emphasizes listening with an open mind and works collaboratively with clients to set goals, explore alternatives, and put plans into action while guiding rather than doing the work for them.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, ADHD, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and compassion fatigue, along with related issues such as chronic pain and post-traumatic stress. Dr.

Thompson aims to be approachable and careful in her suggestions, drawing on clinical training and life experience to help clients navigate upsetting events and pursue a higher quality of living. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions from California in English.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Thompson commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behavior and managing symptoms such as anxiety, panic, or depressive thoughts. She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy when relevant, which centers on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact on daily functioning and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to match methods to their specific needs, goals, and preferences. Over time she adjusts techniques based on what proves most helpful, inviting client feedback and shared decision making to refine the plan of care.

Online therapy offers flexible options that support participation from varied locations, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging available. These formats allow for consistent access to treatment, easier scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities, and the ability to continue care when in-person visits are impractical, while still working with licensed professionals toward meaningful change.
