About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a California licensed psychologist with 25 years of experience. She draws on a long career in neuropsychology to help people understand how thinking, feeling, and behavior connect. Her work aims to guide clients through upsetting events toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens with an open mind and partners with people to set realistic plans. She doesn’t do the work for clients but supports them as they try new ideas and habits.
Her background in neuropsychology informs how she frames problems like anxiety, panic, and trauma. That perspective helps when sleep, concentration, or emotional reactions are affected by stress or brain injury. She combines clinical knowledge with everyday experience to meet people where they are.
Dr. Thompson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as part of her approach. These methods shape how she helps people reduce overwhelming thoughts, build coping skills, and process difficult events. She adapts techniques to suit each person’s needs and goals.
People who work with her often value a calm, clear style and careful suggestions. She has experience supporting issues such as panic disorder and panic attacks, grief, chronic pain, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety. Her aim is steady progress toward a higher quality of living.
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy Work Online
Dr. Thompson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT typically involves setting specific goals, trying new skills between sessions, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. This approach helps people process difficult memories, reduce overwhelming reactions, and build coping strategies for triggers and flashbacks.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current needs, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether CBT, trauma work, or a mix makes the most sense and how quickly to move forward.
