Rebecca Hammond , MD, LCPC

Rebecca Hammond is a licensed clinician with an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Rebecca has a particular interest in women's issues and supporting people through midlife transitions and workplace struggles.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She helps people notice repeating emotional patterns and learn clearer ways to communicate. Sessions are practical and focused on small changes that make daily life easier.

Rebecca works with people facing isolation, social anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. She also addresses attachment concerns, blended family complications, and problems like infidelity or separation. Fertility stress, guilt, and shame are other areas she commonly supports.

In session she encourages gentle self-reflection and direct skill-building. That can look like practicing conversations, mapping triggers, or trying new coping strategies between meetings. Progress is measured in clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Rebecca welcomes clients who want to find meaning, repair relationships, or navigate major life transitions. Her practice in Maryland offers a steady, practical approach aimed at real-world improvements rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

The clinician uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful emotional or behavioral patterns by tracking triggers and testing new responses; this helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and impulsivity. Another approach centers on improving communication and attachment - practicing clearer conversations and repairing trust can ease relationship strain and reduce isolation.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Sessions may adjust over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make it simpler to get consistent help around work, family, and other commitments.
