Dr. Rebecca Thompson , CA Psychologist 20610

Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a California psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. She draws on neuropsychology and long-term practice to help people recover after upsetting events. She works with adults on problems like anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and issues related to women's health.

Her background blends doctoral training in psychology with many years of hands-on work. That experience shapes a practical view of how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect. She uses that understanding to help people sort out what matters most and set manageable goals.

In sessions she listens first and asks clear questions. She helps clients break problems into small steps and tests what works. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as ways to manage panic, improve sleep, and cope with grief or chronic pain.

Dr. Thompson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches where they fit a person's needs. She often helps people who feel overwhelmed by life changes, work stress, or difficult memories. She also supports people navigating ADHD, relationship strain, and career decisions.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to meet clients partway, offer practical options, and encourage steady progress. Many come for help with women's issues and young adult concerns, and she adapts plans to each person's life and goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Thompson commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and everyday stress by teaching concrete coping tools and step-by-step plans.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life. This work often combines safety-building, paced processing of traumatic material, and skills to manage intense reactions after upsetting events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Thompson works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, preferences, and symptoms. She reviews progress and adjusts plans so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around life demands and keep momentum between appointments.
