Rebecca Harjo , LPC

Rebecca Harjo is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She is straightforward and compassionate, and she focuses on helping people find practical ways forward.

Rebecca uses a mix of talk-based methods and skills practice. She often helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood. She also offers trauma-focused work for people coping with past abuse or other painful events.

Her approach centers on listening first. Rebecca asks clear questions and helps set achievable goals together. She encourages clients to use their own strengths while learning new tools for managing stress and difficult emotions.

Rebecca has particular experience with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and problems around commitment and communication. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person. Rebecca blends client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when appropriate. She works with people who want steady, skills-based progress and emotional clarity.

How Rebecca brings proven approaches to online work

Rebecca blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR depending on the concern. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers through open conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant to the person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy weeks or life transitions.
