About Rebecca

Rebecca Pedersen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-based methods to help clients build coping skills, increase self-esteem, and process difficult histories including post-traumatic stress and abuse. Rebecca emphasizes practical tools alongside deeper healing work to address issues such as communication problems, abandonment and attachment wounds, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose.

Her clinical approach blends trauma-focused techniques and relational perspectives to create a collaborative therapy experience. Rebecca aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and try new ways of responding to challenges.

She encourages clients to take the first brave step toward change and supports them through decisions like divorce or midlife transitions while working toward greater self-love, forgiveness, and emotional resilience.

How Rebecca Integrates Approaches in Online Therapy

Rebecca often works with Internal Family Systems to help people notice and relate to different internal parts - offering a way to address internal conflict, self-criticism, and patterns that maintain anxiety or shame. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help clients clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and develop practical strategies for living with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her relational focus by exploring early relational patterns and how they influence current relationships and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms with each client and adapt methods over time so therapy aligns with what matters most to the person seeking help. This allows sessions to balance skill-building with deeper healing work depending on present needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stress, and access support without needing to travel to an office.
