Dr. Rebecca Thompson

Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a California psychologist with 25 years of experience. She describes her work as grounded in a neuropsychological view of how thinking, feeling, and behavior connect. She listens without judgment and helps people set realistic goals for change.

Her doctorate and long clinical experience shaped a practical style. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to open new ways of thinking. She guides clients through step-by-step plans rather than doing the work for them.

Dr. Thompson commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, ADHD, chronic pain and illness, and concerns that affect young adults. Women's issues are among the areas she focuses on.

Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address thinking patterns and the impact of traumatic events. Sessions typically blend skill-building with reflective conversation to improve daily functioning.

People who work with her often find her approachable and careful when offering suggestions. She brings life experience and clinical knowledge together to find common ground. Her aim is to help clients move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Online

Dr. Thompson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes simple exercises, practice between sessions, and concrete tools for stress, anxiety, sleep, and mood problems.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of upsetting events. This approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on daily life through paced, supportive work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration shapes the focus and pacing of therapy.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused techniques to work well over distance, helping clients practice skills between appointments and track progress over time.
