Rebecca Gibson , LPC

Rebecca Gibson centers her work on attentive listening, careful questioning, and holding space for silence so clients can explore what matters most in their lives. She draws from a broad assortment of clinical skills and life experience to address current challenges and to teach practical skills clients can use long after sessions end. Rebecca aims to tailor therapy to each person’s needs - a philosophy inspired by psychotherapist Irvin Yalom - seeking what works best for every individual.

She has long-standing clinical roots, with initial counselor training and an internship in Austin in the 1980s, and she has been licensed as a professional counselor in Texas since 2001. Her LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a state-recognized license to provide counseling services. Over the years she has explored a variety of approaches with an emphasis on somatic and experiential interventions to help with stress, chronic pain, trauma, addiction, and repairing relationships.

Rebecca brings a calm, grounded presence and a wide therapeutic toolkit to sessions, combining practical techniques with experiential methods to support healing, growth, and more effective coping. Her practice addresses a range of concerns including anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rebecca primarily uses client-centered methods that place the individual's experience at the heart of the work - therapists provide empathic presence, reflective listening, and support so clients can identify goals and find their own path forward. This approach is helpful for concerns such as stress, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem challenges.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy techniques that teach attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase coping with anxiety, pain, and trauma. Hypnotherapy is used as an adjunctive, experiential method to access focused attention and support changes in habits, cravings, and somatic responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Rebecca works with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of geographic constraints.
