Rebecca Salazar

Rebecca Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience providing psychotherapy in Texas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Rebecca also supports those facing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling situations.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats therapy as a partnership where mutual respect and compassion guide the work. Sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than jargon.

Rebecca uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they suit a person’s situation.

In session she helps people create a simple plan to manage symptoms and move toward concrete aims. That might mean working on communication, coping strategies for caregiver stress, or tools for processing grief. She keeps language plain and focuses on what clients can try between meetings.

People who want a collaborative therapist will likely find her approach approachable. Rebecca emphasizes listening first, then building a plan together. She aims to help people feel steadier and better able to handle the next steps in their lives.

How Rebecca’s approaches fit into online work

Rebecca often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and following the person’s lead to understand what matters most. That approach helps when someone needs empathy, validation, and room to make sense of a difficult situation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching simple skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT skill-building, or elements of DBT or mindfulness make sense. The plan is shaped by the person’s goals, challenges, and preferences rather than a fixed method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to include caregivers in planning. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, goal-setting, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so you can keep progressing between meetings.
