About Rebecca

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience, she supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family issues, ADHD, and a wide range of other concerns such as depression, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career stress. She also addresses clinical issues including bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and emotional reactions like anger, jealousy, and impulsivity.

Her approach blends respect for each person's unique story with practical, skills-based work. Rebecca draws from client-centered principles to create a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, and combines that foundation with cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, acceptance and commitment, and solution-focused methods to tailor interventions to individual needs.

She aims to help clients clarify goals, build coping strategies, and navigate challenging life changes. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, steady support, and actionable steps toward improved functioning and greater well-being.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rebecca often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; this approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and adjustment-related concerns. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating difficulties. Additionally she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Sessions are tailored over time so techniques and priorities can shift as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which helps fit counseling into busy schedules and reduces travel time. These options offer flexibility for evening and weekend appointments and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
