About Rebecca
Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She began her career teaching high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders and later moved into community mental health. Her background also includes work with art, which she weaves into therapy when helpful.
She has provided care in schools, homes, offices, and through telehealth. That range means she is familiar with practical obstacles families face and with short- and longer-term supports.
Background and approach
Rebecca helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and grief, and she also addresses addiction, anger, and relationship strain. Rebecca uses several therapy approaches and adapts them to each person. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods.
Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and building skills to cope and move forward. Her work pays attention to attachment struggles and caregiver stress, along with social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. She aims to strengthen personal resources so people can face life changes and find clearer direction.
Rebecca collaborates with each person to set realistic goals. She listens for strengths and small wins, then helps clients practice new ways of responding. The approach is straightforward, warm, and aimed at practical change.

Online support
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and provides practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or intrusive worry. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safe with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. That makes sessions feel collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good when seeing facial cues matters, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can handle brief check-ins, and text messaging lets someone send thoughts between meetings. These formats make scheduling easier and let people get support from different places and at different times.
