Rebecca McDow, LPC

Rebecca McDow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and changes in life. Her approach is calm and direct so people can feel understood and get practical help.

She has 18 years of experience working with adult clients across a wide range of concerns. Rebecca uses a person-centered stance that treats each person as an individual. She combines that with methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to address current problems and build coping skills.

Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps. Rebecca listens without judgment and helps people break big worries into manageable parts. She often uses skills practice, thought patterns work, and short-term problem solving to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Rebecca also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and dialectical behavior tools when they fit a client's needs. This can help with emotional regulation, painful memories, and persistent anxiety. She frames therapy as a collaboration where the person guides the priorities.

Her aim is to create a supportive place where people can make steady progress. People who want practical strategies for coping, better sleep, or clearer direction often find this style useful. Evening appointments are part of how she organizes her practice to fit busy schedules.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to them. It is often used for ongoing anxiety, stress, and life changes where values and small actions matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns that increase distress and practice different ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional balance; it can help with impulsivity and strong mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as needs change so sessions remain practical and focused on what the client wants to accomplish.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since session formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats work better for quieter conversations while others suit people who prefer not to be on camera; talk with the therapist to decide what will work best for your situation.
