Rebecca Holland , LCSW

Rebecca Holland, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), is a therapist licensed in Illinois with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to life transitions, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, grief, addictions, and a range of mood and behavioral concerns. Her practice also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control struggles, isolation and loneliness, parenting difficulties, and conditions like ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic, and postpartum depression.

Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients develop practical skills for managing emotions, reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns, and improving daily functioning. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that builds on each person’s existing strengths and insights, honoring the idea that clients are experts in their own stories while offering guidance and structure to support change.

Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life often requires courage, and Rebecca aims to offer steady, compassionate support through that process. She provides therapy in English and offers sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility for clients in Illinois.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Rebecca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices to support clients in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete skills for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and stress reduction, helping clients manage rumination, panic symptoms, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work feels practical and personally meaningful. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions to what works best for the individual.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to connect with licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options increase flexibility in scheduling and can help people access consistent support from therapists when in-person visits are difficult.
