Rebecca Oberle , LCSW

Rebecca Oberle is a licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience helping people through grief, low self-esteem, life changes, stress, and anxiety. She works with clients facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and burnout like compassion fatigue. Rebecca approaches care with a straightforward and respectful manner that focuses on each person's strengths and goals.

She believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Rebecca listens closely, helps clarify what matters most, and creates small, doable steps toward change.

Her work often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven actions. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques when a shorter, goal-oriented plan fits best. These methods are described and used in plain terms during sessions.

Rebecca has supported people through aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and cancer-related stress. She also addresses issues like attachment, guilt and shame, loneliness, and life purpose.

In sessions she aims to be calm, direct, and practical. People can expect options like talk-based work, skill practice, and short action steps to try between meetings. Rebecca is based in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

Online approaches that focus on values and practical change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for grief, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on acceptance, skills work, or short-term problem solving depending on what the person needs.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual connection matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit quick check-ins or people with busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent across changes in location, energy, or daily demands.
