Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She meets people where they are and begins by asking why they chose therapy. Rebecca uses that first conversation to build goals that matter to each person she meets.
She has worked across many settings including homes, schools, community programs, agencies, and a independent office. Her background includes work with people affected by foster care and adoption, trauma and domestic violence, and life changes such as separation or reunification. She has supported people facing mood and anxiety concerns as well as attention and behavioral challenges.
Rebecca’s style is collaborative and straightforward. She completes an intake that includes a mental status check and then talks through what a useful plan might look like. Clients are invited to shape the work and give feedback along the way.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause distress. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used for skills practice and short-term goals.
Rebecca works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting questions, and self esteem. People often come for help coping with career changes, compassion fatigue, or challenges tied to chronic illness. She describes the office as a place to be heard, understood, validated, and supported.
How Rebecca’s approaches fit online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals. It helps people feel heard and shapes the direction of therapy based on their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused work addresses how past events affect current feelings and behavior and uses careful steps to reduce distress and improve coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca partners with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That decision is based on the client’s needs, current goals, and personal preferences, and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Rebecca will discuss what will work best for scheduling and for the kinds of exercises or skills you want to practice.
