Rebecca Ness , LCSW

Rebecca Ness is a Florida-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 10 years of professional experience focused on supporting people through medical and life transitions. Her work has been centered in cancer centers where she guided patients from the beginning of treatment through post-treatment life and, when needed, through end-of-life care. Those years in oncology shaped her ability to address the emotional, relational, and practical impacts of a serious diagnosis, and she is also open to working with people coping with other chronic illnesses.

In addition to her oncology background, Rebecca has pursued specialized training in sexual health and intimacy. She works with individuals and couples on female sexual health, helping clients reconnect with their bodies, address sexual dysfunction, and improve communication within intimate relationships. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and clearer connection between partners.

Rebecca approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and brings resources to the therapeutic process. She frames the decision to seek support as a courageous step and positions herself as a collaborative guide, offering support, validation, and practical strategies to help clients pursue a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rebecca integrates client-centered therapy and mindfulness therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, creating a collaborative space where the therapist listens closely, reflects, and helps individuals build on what is already working in their lives - this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, offering practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions based on each person’s priorities and adapts tools over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to receive support from home or while balancing work and caregiving responsibilities, and they make it simpler to maintain continuity of care despite scheduling or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented support that fits into a client’s life.
