Rebecca Shaughnessy, LPC

Rebecca Shaughnessy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to make starting therapy feel simple and reachable. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages small, practical steps that can add up to real change.

She uses an integrative, client-centered approach in sessions. That means the conversation starts with the client's concerns and goals. Rebecca blends techniques from different methods to match what each person needs. She emphasizes building a strong working relationship as the foundation for progress.

In practice she helps people facing depression, mood disorders, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Rebecca lists parenting stress, career strain, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue among areas she addresses.

Rebecca draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as part of her work. Sessions focus on clear strategies and chances to try new ways of coping between meetings. The therapist-centered language is avoided; instead she works alongside clients to find what fits.

She has five years of clinical experience and provides services from Alabama. People who want to begin are invited to take a first step through a short matching process. That initial step helps shape a plan and schedule that fits individual needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change them. It can be useful for panic, OCD, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed so sessions feel relevant and doable.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow more flexible appointment times. It also lets people practice coping skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring those experiences back into the conversation for refinements.
