About Rebecca
Rebecca Shaughnessy is an LPC who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and money and financial issues. She invites clients to take small steps toward change and focuses on practical, steady progress. Her approach centers on working together to find what fits each person rather than handing down one-size-fits-all solutions.
Rebecca uses a client-centered style that keeps conversation focused on the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. She emphasizes finding inner strengths and learning techniques that people can use between meetings.
She draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create flexible plans. That means clients may try values-based goals, skill-building for unhelpful thoughts, and short-term strategies to move forward. The therapist guides these steps without promising a fixed outcome.
Rebecca has five years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Alabama. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, panic, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing life transitions, midlife questions, and career stress.
People who want a warm, straightforward conversation and tools to use between sessions often choose this approach. To start, she asks people to take one small step and then builds on that progress together.
How Rebecca Uses Practical Therapies Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take actions aligned with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus from trying to eliminate feelings to living a meaningful life despite them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In short sessions people learn skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits that reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they check progress and adjust course as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Rebecca emphasizes practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy schedule, using shorter check-ins when time is tight, and choosing work that people can practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can make therapy fit everyday life by focusing on doable steps rather than big leaps.
