About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, licensed in California with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related issues. Rebecca also addresses topics such as parenting stress, sleep problems, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD in her work.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward assessment and a clear starting plan. Intake includes a mental status check and a discussion of why someone is seeking therapy. She asks about personal and professional goals and collaborates with each person to set practical steps forward.
Rebecca draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that increase distress and to test more helpful alternatives. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools appear in sessions when they help clients notice the present moment or set specific, achievable goals.
People who contact her can expect direct conversation about current struggles and concrete strategies to try between sessions. Rebecca has experience with clients affected by foster care and adoption histories, domestic violence, medical illness, and LGBTQ concerns. She has worked in homes, schools, community settings, agencies, and an office.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape each step of therapy. To begin, a short intake leads into a shared plan for what to focus on in early sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Rebecca uses client-centered techniques that focus on each person’s perspective and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens for what matters most, asks about goals, and adjusts conversations to reflect the client’s concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and tests new, clearer ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to help people notice thoughts and bodily signals without judgment; it can be useful for stress, trauma symptoms, and managing emotion in the moment.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss what seems most helpful and try approaches together, adjusting them according to the client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and practical, with short-term steps and periodic reviews.
