01About Rebecca
Rebecca Shaughnessy is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and relationship concerns. She writes plainly and works in a collaborative way, guiding clients toward small, practical steps that add up to change. Her approach aims to find each person's strengths rather than focus only on problems.
Rebecca uses client-centered care to create a space where people feel heard and understood. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different patterns of behavior.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are part of her work too, helping people notice difficult feelings and keep moving toward what matters to them. Sessions are focused and goal-oriented. Rebecca prefers a team approach where the therapist and client set clear, achievable steps together.
She encourages brief experiments between sessions so people can test out new ways of coping in everyday life. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She practises in Alabama and offers services in English.
Rebecca aims to help people regain a sense of control, whether they are dealing with addiction, trauma, parenting strain, or midlife transitions. People who work with her can expect practical tools, steady support, and a focus on building resilience. She helps clients sort priorities, manage symptoms, and make concrete plans for change.
The work begins with one small step and builds from there.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Rebecca often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then combine elements from these approaches to fit each person's needs. Together they set small, measurable goals and try practical exercises between sessions to see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when a written check-in fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
