About Rebecca
Rebecca Shoemaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 10 years of clinical experience to her work. Rebecca focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on listening carefully and shaping treatment to each person. She uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Rebecca aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less overwhelming and more doable.
Rebecca draws on several therapy approaches to meet real-life needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small, achievable changes clients can start right away. Sessions tend to focus on skills and steps that make daily life easier. Rebecca helps people work through panic attacks and panic disorder by teaching coping skills and practical tools.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation and goals. Taking the first step can be hard, and Rebecca aims to make that step feel respected and useful.
How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person’s lead; online sessions can preserve that supportive, conversational tone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear exercises and steps to change thinking and behavior; these tools translate well to remote sessions where homework and skill practice are reviewed together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation and coping skills that can be practiced and tracked between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use worksheets or skill tools from home. Many clients find these practical benefits help them practice new habits between sessions and keep momentum toward their goals.
