About Rebecca
Rebecca Waterston is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Rebecca focuses on building steady self-esteem and clearer decision-making skills through thoughtful conversation and practical steps.
Her approach begins by listening to what matters most to each person. She uses exploration of personal history to spot patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
Then she helps clients try new ways of coping and relating that feel doable in everyday life. Rebecca often sees anxiety tied to poor sleep, low mood, or trouble trusting one’s own judgment. She supports people working through trauma, whether from a single event or longer-term family problems.
She also assists those navigating divorce, communication breakdowns, or substance use issues. Work with Rebecca includes attention to relationships and the ways childhood experiences shape adult patterns. She helps people notice avoidant behaviors, codependent reactions, and communication traps, and then practices alternatives that improve connection and boundaries.
Rebecca also spends time with young adults and older clients facing loss, end-of-life questions, or struggles with life purpose. Her style is steady, patient, and hopeful, centered on helping people make small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that translate to online work
Jungian therapy invites clients to explore personal symbols, dreams, and life stories to make sense of repeating patterns. It can help people understand where certain behaviors come from and what feels meaningful in their lives.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people build safer emotional connections. It is helpful for improving communication and repairing trust in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a work break. Chat and text allow brief updates, journaling-style reflection, or ongoing support when scheduling a live meeting is difficult.
