Rebecca Pedersen is an LCSW with 11 years of clinical experience. She practices in Utah and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and self esteem. She encourages a straightforward first step and recognizes that beginning therapy can take courage.
Rebecca uses a mix of trauma-focused methods and skills-based work to help people manage hard feelings and regain a sense of control. She often uses EMDR alongside other approaches to address traumatic memories and the distress they cause. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to build present-moment skills and healthier coping habits.
Her style is open and direct. She aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Rebecca helps clients set practical goals and breaks bigger problems into manageable steps.
She also pays attention to relational patterns like attachment and abandonment concerns. That means she helps people notice repeating dynamics, practice different ways of communicating, and experiment with new behaviors that fit their goals.
Rebecca works with people who are navigating life changes, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. She combines trauma-focused work with skill training to support recovery from post-traumatic stress and to rebuild self-love and self-worth.
Approaches that guide online trauma and coping work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing what matters and taking small steps toward it. It helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It helps people recognize attachment styles, practice different ways of relating, and reduce repeating cycles that cause pain.
Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. Over time she adjusts the plan to match progress and what feels most helpful.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time on workdays. It can also make it simpler to meet with a therapist who uses trauma-focused methods like EMDR without rearranging transportation. Rebecca uses her clinical approaches to support work done via the site, and she will discuss how sessions will be structured when you schedule.
