Rebekah Smith, LCSW

Rebekah Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits linked to stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She practices in Maine and invites people to talk about what is on their mind in a calm, nonjudgmental way.

She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined. Sessions aim to make small, practical changes that fit daily life. Rebekah emphasizes working together to find what helps, rather than handing down one set approach.

Her work includes supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and issues around eating and sleep. She also helps with parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and navigating big life changes. ADHD and compassion fatigue are also listed among her focus areas.

Rebekah draws on several approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and a client-centered stance. These approaches are used to notice patterns of thought and build new habits. The goal is practical change that feels achievable.

With four years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, she supports people who want steady, compassionate help solving day-to-day problems. If you are ready to try therapy, she encourages the first step and will help you set goals and plan next actions.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Rebekah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that fit their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments while they practice new habits and notice thought patterns.
