Rebecca Murray , LCPC

Rebecca Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois, with 8 years of clinical experience. She has focused her work on supporting people working through grief and loss, compassion fatigue and burnout, low self-esteem, boundary concerns, anxiety and depression, and challenges with anger management.

Rebecca primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while integrating person-centered techniques to shape sessions around each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients notice and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, while person-centered work emphasizes empathy and respect for a client's own capacity to grow.

Rebecca approaches therapy believing that people can make meaningful changes when offered a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore their concerns. She aims to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and identify steps toward healthier relationships and more balanced emotional life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when addressing traumatic memories and the emotional responses they trigger. EMDR helps process distressing experiences in a structured way so clients can reduce the intensity of difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and together they choose or adapt methods that fit the client's needs.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility that can make regular care easier to maintain. These options allow clients to meet with licensed professionals from different settings and schedules, support continuity of care, and make it simpler to access therapy alongside work, family, or other responsibilities.
