About Rebecca

Rebecca Ness is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports those facing intimacy and sexual health concerns and people coping with serious illness and caregiving stress.

Rebecca spent much of her career working in cancer centers. She has experience guiding people from diagnosis through treatment and into survivorship or end-of-life planning.

Background and approach

Because of that background she is comfortable supporting people with chronic illness and the emotional ripple effects illness can bring. In sessions she centers the person’s story and strengths. She uses a client-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their life and goals.

She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help calm intense emotions and with narrative and solution-focused tools to identify small, practical changes. Her work often involves improving communication around intimacy and sexual concerns. She has additional training related to sexual health and helps people connect with their bodies, address sexual dysfunction, and strengthen intimate communication.

Rebecca uses straightforward talk and practical exercises during sessions. She helps set short-term goals and checks in on progress so people can notice change. Her Florida LCSW credential is noted as part of her background and practice.

Online support

How Rebecca's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Rebecca uses client-centered methods that place the person's experiences and goals at the center of each session, listening first and tailoring the plan to what matters most. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns, from communication problems to life transitions.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and anxiety. Simple breathing exercises and attention practices can be used during a video call or a short text check-in to reduce intensity and increase focus. Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to make sense of difficult events by looking at the stories people tell about themselves and then identifying alternative, more helpful storylines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting tactics as progress is made. That collaborative process helps set clear short-term steps and track what works.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people share updates or reflections between sessions.
