Welcome! My name is Becky and I have been working in mental health for the past seven years. I have my Clinical degree in Social Work and hold my independent license in Minnesota and Colorado. My therapeutic approach is very person centered; you lead your therapy, I just assist you on along the way. I tailor my approach to your specific diagnoses and needs. I utilize multiple treatment modalities depending on what your therapy centers around and what you would like to work on.

You will find that I am nonjudgmental, welcoming and easy to talk to.

I have experience with trauma, anxieties, depression, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, gender identity, as well as substance use disorders.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rebecca is amazing. She checks in on me if I haven't sent a message in a few days even if I had been doing really well during our last interaction. I have always left our video sessions feeling energized and lighter than before. Rebecca is so encouraging, supportive, and validating. I am immensely grateful to have her guiding me through my healing journey.

Becky helps me navigate my grief and depression. It's very reassuring to have someone there especially during the pandemic. I've been recommending Better Help to my friends!

Rebecca has been great! I have been apart of better help for almost 6 months now and I have enjoyed every minute! Rebecca responds in a timely manner and always makes me feel heard. I love having this service. It takes the worry and wait out of therapy. When I need further help, I jump on, write my concerns or whatever I am struggling with at the time, and before I know it, I have a response from my counselor. Right away Rebecca recommended some worksheets and assignments to work on to help with the issues I was struggling with. I am very pleased!!

I really appreciate that Rebecca checks in on me. Thank you so much!

Reviewed May 2020

I was very apprehensive about seeking counseling. I fought my struggles internally for years and years. I knew early on that it would be more difficult to start therapy face to face. Usually betterhelp has given me the comfort to be more open than I ever thought I could be, and I've made so much progress on such little time! There are things that come up during the day that just need to be talked about in that moment, and holding onto them until the next appointment would be difficult. Having counseling available in real time has given me a flexibility that has really worked for me! Rebecca is AWESOME, and really gets me!

I have been happy in knowing that I can talk with someone in a private setting at times that work so much better with my 50+ hour work weeks. In the short time I've been working with Rebecca I feel better in more ways than I thought and I look forward to the future with her.

Reviewed August 2019

I have a lot of high stressors happening in my life right now, it has been extremely beneficial to have someone from the outside looking in to help me see what I do not and be able to have someone helping guide me through it. I appreciate being able to have a constant conversation and send a message when it is most convenient. I have a busy life right now and knowing I have someone to talk too (if I need too) every day has made me feel less alone and capable of achieving my goals
