About Rebecca
Rebecca Andersen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Minnesota with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and blended family issues among other life challenges. Rebecca helps people sort through what feels stuck and figure out practical next steps.
She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Sessions draw on client-centered ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, emotion-focused work, mindfulness, and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Rebecca describes therapy as a cooperative process where the client’s priorities guide the work.
Her background includes long-term work with people dealing with family conflict, divorce and separation, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and the fallout from infidelity or betrayal. Rebecca will talk through relationship dynamics and communication patterns and help clients test new responses.
Practical skills and short experiments are often part of sessions. That might mean trying a communication exercise, a mindfulness practice, or a thought-challenging approach between meetings. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe painful stories and open up options for the future.
Rebecca emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. She asks what matters most, tracks small changes, and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working. People seeking help with merged households, co-parenting tensions, or the emotional demands of a new partnership may find this approach useful.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. The therapist reflects what the client says, helps name feelings, and supports the client in choosing goals and steps that feel doable. It is useful when someone needs a clear partner in sorting through options.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and tries small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new ways of responding between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that drive relationship patterns and then try new ways of connecting. It is commonly used when relationship or attachment issues are central.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide which techniques are emphasized.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it possible to meet during a lunch break or between responsibilities. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular work on the issues that matter to them.
