Rebecca Stallworth , LCSW

Rebecca Stallworth is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions are grounded in everyday language and steady support for people navigating life changes and caregiving strain.

She draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. Rebecca blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to address thoughts and behaviors that cause pain. She uses attachment-informed work to help people understand patterns in close relationships and heal from abandonment or codependency issues.

Rebecca has long experience with grief, trauma recovery after emotional and physical abuse, and challenges linked to caregiving, compassion fatigue, and military transitions. She also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep and eating concerns, bipolar conditions, and career or life-purpose questions. Her background includes individual and group psychotherapy work in clinical settings.

Her style emphasizes the client’s strengths and goals. Sessions often include concrete tools - breathing and grounding practices, thought records, and behavioral experiments - plus conversational reflection about patterns and values. Rebecca aims to help people set realistic steps toward the life changes they want.

Rebecca offers therapy in English and Cantonese from California. She is credentialed as an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and has worked across a wide range of community and clinical settings over her career.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. Work of this kind helps people notice their typical responses to closeness and practice new ways of relating when feeling abandoned, lonely, or stuck in codependent cycles.

Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to a person’s goals and tries different methods until something fits. Together they decide which tools and exercises feel useful, and adjust the plan as progress or new needs appear.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging works for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or notes between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use tools in real time where challenges happen.
