About Rebecca Pedersen

Rebecca Pedersen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience who brings focused care to people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and life transitions. She combines trauma-informed expertise with practical, evidence-based methods to help clients rebuild confidence and cope with difficult emotions.

As a complex certified trauma therapist, Rebecca frequently uses EMDR and Brainspotting in her work, methods she has seen produce meaningful shifts for many individuals recovering from abuse and post-traumatic stress. She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns around relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation.

Rebecca creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients can develop tailored strategies for daily challenges, from overcoming addictive behaviors to managing anxiety and finding purpose in midlife. Her practice includes support for issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Rebecca acknowledges that bravery in each person who seeks help. She aims to collaborate with clients to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and support steady progress over time.

Rebecca often incorporates EMDR to help process traumatic memories in a way that can reduce their emotional intensity. This approach is used to support people coping with trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress by allowing difficult memories to be reprocessed in a structured way.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive patterns. DBT can be particularly useful for those struggling with emotional regulation, relationship challenges, or behaviors tied to distress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) appears in her repertoire as well, focusing on helping clients clarify values and build committed actions toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
