About Rebecca

Rebecca Shaughnessy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, ADHD, trauma, grief, and a broad range of mood and life challenges.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered approach that builds on each person's existing strengths and resilience to find practical, manageable steps forward. Her style blends multiple evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based techniques, to tailor interventions to the client's needs.

Sessions aim to be goal-oriented while maintaining warmth and support, so clients can explore patterns, develop coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Rebecca encourages a steady pace of change, highlighting that even small steps can lead to meaningful progress.

She offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging and uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a brief questionnaire and matching process to arrange sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and practice acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting work on issues like anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she uses, focusing on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the particular problems they bring, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from their own environments, maintain continuity during busy periods, and use different modes of communication for skills practice, check-ins, or deeper conversations. The variety of options helps match practical needs with therapeutic goals, making it easier to sustain progress.
