Rebecca Marrs

Rebecca Marrs is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked across ages from infancy through older adulthood. Her stated focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma concerns, along with grief, depression, LGBT issues, parenting, career questions, ADHD, and life changes. She has provided care in many settings - in homes, schools, community sites, agencies, and a clinical office. Her clients have come from foster care and adoption backgrounds, experienced domestic violence or other trauma, or faced chronic illness and caregiving demands. She has experience supporting people dealing with separation, divorce, reunification, and court-ordered therapy. Intake work includes a mental status exam and a discussion of why someone has chosen therapy. Rebecca uses that first work to identify personal and professional goals together with the client. Sessions are collaborative; the client’s preferences and choices guide what happens next. Her approach draws from several practical methods. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy provide concrete tools for managing symptoms and making changes. Trauma-focused and mindfulness strategies are used when past events and present stressors need attention. People often come when they feel stuck after a life change, when relationships are strained, or when daily stress and sleep problems are interfering. Rebecca aims to clarify what matters most to each person and to work step by step toward manageable changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Rebecca frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, reflection, and building a collaborative plan with the client. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them and decide concrete next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt techniques accordingly. She aims to pick methods that fit the client’s situation rather than imposing a fixed plan, and she revisits the approach as needs shift.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people choose a quieter setting or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage better. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life without changing how the work is done.
