About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked in mental health for ten years. She practices in California and offers a calm, steady presence for people coping with big life stresses.
Background and approach
Rebecca focuses on listening first and then helping clients make practical steps forward. She meets people where they are and asks simple questions about what brought them to therapy.
Rebecca uses the intake to learn about goals and to shape a clear plan together. She explains each step and checks in so clients have a say in the process.
Her background includes work in schools, community settings, agencies, homes, and an office. That range has shaped a flexible approach to problems like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief.
Rebecca has supported people facing medical issues, adoption and foster care histories, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. Rebecca draws on client-centered methods and other practical tools during sessions.
She helps people handle sleep problems, parenting strain, career concerns, and changes like separation or divorce. She also works with issues such as ADHD, codependency, and chronic illness when they affect day-to-day life.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Rebecca aims to make therapy understandable and useful.
She invites clients to set priorities and to build small, workable changes that fit their lives.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Rebecca often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to the session. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify their own goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest methods that fit their situation. She encourages feedback and adjustments so the plan evolves with the client's progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help people keep momentum between longer sessions or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options support therapy that adapts to different schedules and practical needs.
