Dr. Rebecca Sinclair , LMHC

Dr. Rebecca Sinclair is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with advanced training in counseling and psychology. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of Dayton in 1997 and a Doctor of Education in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University in 2016, and she maintains an active interest in current research and best practices within the counseling field.

Over more than 25 years she has provided care for adults, children, and adolescents across a variety of treatment settings and modalities. Her professional focus includes substance abuse treatment and work with survivors of intimate partner violence - she has worked with survivors for over ten years and has five years of experience in the substance abuse field. Her clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and is flexibly tailored to include Humanistic Therapy when appropriate.

Dr. Sinclair emphasizes the practical application of a client’s own beliefs, spirituality, and strengths to develop actionable strategies and pathways toward identified goals. Her style balances structured, research-informed techniques with a person-centered emphasis on each individual’s values and resources.

Integrating CBT and Mindfulness for Online Care

Dr. Rebecca Sinclair draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is well suited to addressing patterns that contribute to substance use, mood shifts, and day-to-day coping challenges.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and simple techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices can support clients dealing with trauma-related symptoms, grief, and difficulties with attention or stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Dr. Sinclair collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adjusted over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around scheduling constraints, geographic limitations, and life changes while still engaging in evidence-based therapeutic work.
