Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and trauma. She welcomes direct conversation and aims to make the first step into therapy feel understandable and manageable. Her approach centers on listening first and working at the client’s pace.

In sessions she draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods are used to address depression, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue, among other issues. Rebekah aims to match strategies to the person’s needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.
She also works with people dealing with adoption and foster care questions and related family-of-origin issues. Additional focuses include coping with life changes, substance-related struggles, and patterns like avoidant or dependent personality dynamics. Her background includes four years of clinical practice in Maine.
Rebekah stresses support and collaboration. She helps people identify realistic goals, learn new skills, and try small changes that can reduce overwhelm. The first steps are acknowledged as difficult, and she offers steady guidance through that early work.
How therapy approaches guide online care
Rebekah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions, which can help with relationship strain and family-of-origin issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what feels most helpful for the individual.
