Rebecca Zabinski , LPCC

Rebecca Zabinski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of experience providing counseling to adolescents and adults. She has worked extensively with people ages 10 to 65 and has supported individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, foster-care experiences, trauma and sexual assault, abuse, parent-child conflicts, school-related challenges, social anxiety, gender and sexual identity questions, disruptive mood disorders, anger, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, sensory processing concerns, high-functioning autism/Asperger's, oppositional defiant disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and ADHD. She has also assisted many clients who have experienced physical trauma or long-term emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic manner is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She draws on a blend of techniques - including cognitive-behavioral strategies, humanistic and client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, DBT skills, trauma-focused work, and art and play-based interventions - tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Rebecca emphasizes the mind-body connection and relationship-focused work when appropriate, shaping therapy around the individual goals and circumstances presented in sessions.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, supporting clients as they build confidence, develop coping skills, and move toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rebecca Zabinski

Rebecca Zabinski draws from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape her online practice. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people improve trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation in close relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy and unconditional acceptance, creating a supportive space where clients can explore values and make choices that align with their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rebecca collaborates with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors methods over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many people - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, stay connected during life transitions, and access support from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area, while still working with licensed professionals to address emotional and relational concerns.
