About Rebecca

Rebecca Ness is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience based in Florida. She welcomes people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, changes in life, or challenges around intimacy and sexual health. She also supports those facing chronic illness or cancer-related concerns and helps people think through career and relationship worries.

She often draws on client-centered methods that put the person's priorities first. Mindfulness techniques are used to help reduce stress and manage difficult emotions in everyday moments. Narrative and solution-focused approaches help people reshape their story and set small, practical goals to move forward.

Much of her work has been in cancer centers, supporting people from diagnosis through treatment decisions and the transition to life after treatment. She has experience helping people cope with serious illness, caregiving strain, and the emotional impact of chronic health problems.

She has additional training in sexual health and intimacy issues, with a particular interest in female sexual health, body connection, and improving communication in close relationships. Sessions include listening to what matters to the client and offering tools tailored to their situation.

Rebecca emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's strengths. She helps clients identify next steps, try new strategies, and build on what already works for them.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to make sessions focus on the person's priorities and strengths, listening first and following what matters most to the client. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple practices for noticing and managing stress, which can help with anxiety, sleeplessness, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments happen over time so the client and therapist can find what actually helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients use mindfulness exercises and narrative work between sessions to practice new skills in day-to-day life.
