About Rebecca
Rebecca Waterston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with ten years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, and shifts that come with major life changes. Rebecca works with adults across a wide range of concerns and uses straightforward, practical methods to help people feel steadier and more capable.
She often begins by looking at how worry and sleeplessness affect day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions address patterns that keep problems going, such as old coping habits learned in childhood. Rebecca uses conversation, targeted exercises, and reflective work to help people learn new ways of thinking and behaving. Relationship strains and communication breakdowns are an area she pays close attention to.
She helps people notice repeating patterns, understand where those patterns came from, and experiment with different ways of relating. Family background, grief, and addiction issues are common threads she helps people untangle. When trauma is part of the story, Rebecca guides clients through gradual steps to regain confidence and safety in decisions about relationships and boundaries.
She also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns and those coping with guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Her approach blends practical tools and deeper exploration. Rebecca aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and worked on.
The pace and focus are set with each person’s needs in mind.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rebecca uses Hypnotherapy to access focused attention and suggestion-based work that can help with stress, sleep, and habit change. This approach can support people who want a calm, guided method to shift unhelpful responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and supports building healthier ways of relating and communicating.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Rebecca will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting over time when something isn’t working. She guides clients in testing new strategies and reviews progress together so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when you don’t want to be on camera, and chat or messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the therapeutic work consistent and goal-focused.
