Rebecca Holland , LCSW

Rebecca Holland is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works with concerns related to addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and LGBT issues. Rebecca emphasizes practical steps and steady support as people work toward clearer goals.

She uses straightforward, talk-first sessions where clients name what matters most. Rebecca believes people bring useful strengths and knowledge about their own lives. She helps build on those strengths and adds tools for coping and decision making.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions often include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity.

Rebecca has 12 years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She combines skill-based techniques with a calm, nonjudgmental style so people can try new ways of handling problems.

Many clients come wanting clearer communication, better mood regulation, or relief from persistent worry. Rebecca offers practical strategies for parenting stress, relationship struggles, body image concerns, and chronic mood symptoms. She encourages small changes that fit into everyday life.

Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Rebecca helps people set realistic goals and tracks progress so therapy stays focused and useful.

Online approaches for emotional regulation and skill building

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense reactions and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness therapy adds short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support better sleep and eating habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during sessions, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or brief skill coaching, and mixed formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. These options help people access care from different places and keep therapy consistent with daily life.
