Rebecca Ness , LCSW

Rebecca Ness is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 10 years of professional experience supporting people through major life transitions and health challenges. Her clinical background is rooted in oncology care, where she worked in cancer centers helping patients navigate the emotional and practical impacts of diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care. She is comfortable extending that expertise to people living with other chronic illnesses who are coping with ongoing medical, emotional, and relational effects.

Rebecca has additional training in sexual health and intimacy, with a particular interest in female sexual health. She works with clients to strengthen body awareness, address sexual dysfunction, and improve communication within intimate relationships. Her approach centers on helping individuals and couples reconnect with their bodies and one another while addressing the practical and emotional factors that influence sexual wellbeing.

Rebecca believes each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet current challenges. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers supportive guidance for those pursuing a more fulfilling and balanced life. As an LCSW, she brings clinical social work training and practical experience to her therapeutic work with adults and couples.

Approaches to Online Therapy and How They Help

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative environment where the client’s goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to identify their strengths and solutions, making it useful for relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people build present-moment awareness and develop skills for managing anxiety, persistent worry, and emotional overwhelm. Mindfulness practices can support coping with chronic illness, grief, and ongoing stress by teaching techniques to regulate attention and emotional responses.

Narrative therapy is another tool Rebecca draws on to help clients reframe and rewrite the stories that shape their identity and relationships. By examining patterns and meanings in personal narratives, clients can discover alternative perspectives that open up new possibilities for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and pacing so therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility in how they connect. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, medical appointments, or caregiving responsibilities, and allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
