About Rebecca

Rebecca Murray is an LCPC based in Illinois who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings 11 years of clinical experience to work with clients on issues like coping with change, workplace stress, panic attacks, mood disorders, and struggles with isolation or purpose. Her practice also addresses control issues, family of origin patterns, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and impulsivity.

Her approach blends practical, skills-based work with trauma-informed methods. Rebecca draws on Internal Family Systems to explore inner parts and patterns, integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift thoughts and behaviors, and uses EMDR and trauma-focused strategies when addressing traumatic memories.

She emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered stance that supports clients’ capacity for change while offering concrete tools for managing symptoms. Rebecca offers sessions in multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Prospective clients in Illinois can expect a thoughtful assessment of needs and a plan that combines evidence-informed techniques with compassionate clinical support.

How trauma-informed and skills-based therapies translate online

Rebecca uses Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity, reduce internal conflict, and foster self-leadership; this approach can be useful for work on shame, guilt, control issues, and relationship patterns. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and panic symptoms. EMDR and trauma-focused interventions are used when needed to address traumatic memories and their emotional impact in a structured way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist explores a client’s concerns, goals, and preferences to determine whether IFS, CBT, EMDR, trauma-focused work, or a combination will best fit their needs, and treatment plans are adjusted together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage in skills practice, parts work, and trauma-informed interventions from home, accommodating varied schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical progress and therapeutic connection.
