Rebecca McDow

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach is calm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients meet their goals in ways that fit their lives.

With 18 years of experience, Rebecca draws from several counseling methods to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered work to build trust and then adds tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable steps so progress is clear and measurable.

Rebecca also brings techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they match a client's needs, especially for managing strong emotions and building values-based direction. She commonly helps people dealing with relationship strain, ADHD, career stress, compassion fatigue, and chronic health challenges. The goal is to improve day-to-day functioning and emotional balance.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Rebecca listens first, then offers exercises, skills practice, and real-world strategies clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes respect for each person’s situation and adapts work to individual goals.

Her schedule includes evenings on weekdays and both daytime and evening options on weekends. Prospective clients should use the site process to match and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for grief, life transitions, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that drive anxiety or depression, offering clear skills for day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means starting with the client’s concerns, trying practical tools, and adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Rebecca’s work emphasizes fitting therapy into everyday life - shorter check-ins can work around a busy schedule, and focused skill practice can be done between sessions. Online sessions can make attending more manageable for people balancing work, caregiving, or health issues, and the therapist will help design a plan that suits the client’s routine and preferences.
