About Rebecca

Rebecca Dykes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 20 years of experience in mental health. She combines clinical practice with academic work as a college professor and department chair. Her stated focus includes stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting, ADHD, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and career questions.

She describes work that includes both faith-informed approaches and clinical methods. Her biography notes certification in Biblical Counseling and use of faith-based modalities as part of counseling when clients wish to include that perspective. Rebecca also highlights a specific interest in neurodivergent people navigating a neurotypical world and the intersection of theology and neuroscience.

Her background includes work across many settings. She has experience in inpatient and outpatient care, forensic and court systems, and community development. She reports work with children facing attachment and sensory regulation challenges, adolescents with emotional regulation and executive functioning struggles, adults experiencing domestic violence or addiction, and active duty military around deployment and reintegration.

Rebecca lists several clinical approaches she uses, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She identifies as direct in style and says she treats people with respect and sensitivity without using stigmatizing labels.

Her practice notes some alternative session options by request. She mentions offering some Saturday phone sessions and evening text sessions when arranged. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can identify their own next steps; it helps with motivation, self-understanding, and decision points. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful when strong emotions and relationship conflicts are present.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods likely to fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what is or isn’t working so treatment stays practical and relevant.

The therapist's biography notes some alternative scheduling options, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins by text or phone when arranged, and reduce travel time around work or family commitments. Discussing preferred session length and times helps make therapy fit daily life without assuming a particular format is provided.
