Rebecca Roark , LISW

Rebecca Roark is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a flexible, evidence-informed approach to the problems clients bring to therapy. As an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), she draws from multiple theoretical frameworks to tailor care to each individual's needs and circumstances.

She recognizes that much of the distress people experience arises from feeling misunderstood and from a diminished sense of personal agency. Rebecca helps clients name and frame the struggles they face, making patterns and obstacles clearer so that practical work can begin.

Working collaboratively, she partners with clients to design realistic steps that address the issues preventing a more contented life. Her focus is on restoring a sense of choice and direction, and on developing strategies that fit the client’s goals and day-to-day realities.

Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help

Rebecca Roark uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps with feelings of being misunderstood and supports rebuilding a sense of personal agency.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Rebecca incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when relationships and intense emotions are central concerns.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit into busy lives, and make it possible to continue work with a licensed professional from a range of locations.
