About Rebecca
Rebecca Hathorn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, and life transitions. She also works with issues related to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Rebecca frames therapy around open conversation and practical problem solving. She uses listening, reflections, and clear suggestions to help people reach their goals. Sessions focus on what is happening in daily life - work stress, parenting demands, school pressures, or relationship friction - and on finding steps that fit a busy schedule.
Her background includes work with foster care and adoption-related issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and family of origin problems. She has experience with fathers and parents who juggle work and caregiving. Rebecca pays attention to how social inequities and LGBTQ stressors affect mental health.
Clinically she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative ideas, and solution-focused work. That mix is used to identify patterns, test new approaches, and build skills for coping and communication. Conversations tend to be straightforward and action-oriented rather than abstract.
Rebecca offers a messaging-first practice and uses live chat for real-time conversations. She typically responds to messages twice daily. People who want to start are encouraged to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session after an initial contact.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people clarify what matters and supporting their own decision making. This approach is helpful for emotional processing, relationship concerns, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into smaller parts, tests unhelpful thoughts, and builds practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation for concrete steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust strategies as needed. Sessions mix listening, practical exercises, and short-term goals rather than lengthy theory discussions.
Rebecca's practice uses messaging and live chat as noted in her profile. If you prefer a different session format, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, and enabling frequent written exchanges between sessions.
