Rebecca Zabinski , LPCC

Rebecca Zabinski is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, and identity concerns. Her manner is warm and interactive and she focuses on helping people take practical first steps toward feeling steadier and more capable.

Rebecca adapts her sessions to each person’s needs. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns and connections.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help calm the body and improve focus. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make difficult changes, such as reducing addictive behaviors or shifting long-held habits. She pulls these approaches together to create a plan that fits the client’s goals and pace.

Rebecca has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and anger. She also supports people dealing with career stress, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and challenges related to adoption or foster care.

Sessions can include regular talk therapy, practical skills training, and creative methods when helpful. Rebecca aims to help people build confidence, find clearer choices, and move toward a more balanced life.

How Rebecca's approaches translate to online care

Rebecca often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines; this works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behavior changes because it focuses on clear skills and short-term practice. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and how they shape current reactions, which can help with connection issues, identity concerns, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try different tools and keep what works for them.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and use interactive exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions support shorter check-ins, ongoing tracking, and quicker access between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still using CB T, attachment insights, and mindfulness work in a practical way.
