About Rebecca
Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with an MD and 11 years of experience. She began her professional life teaching high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders and later moved into community mental health. Her background in art also shapes how she thinks about expression and healing.
Rebecca draws on a range of therapeutic ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger.
Background and approach
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance-based practices to address relationship pain, attachment concerns, and mood struggles. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with a focus on what people want to change. Her past work includes school-based, in-home, office, and telehealth settings.
That variety informs how she adapts sessions to a person’s life and routines. She has experience helping people cope with trauma and life transitions, and she supports those facing isolation, caregiver strain, and questions of life purpose. In session she helps people name feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes.
Rebecca emphasizes clear goals and steady steps toward them. She partners with clients to build skills that reduce distress and improve relationships. Her approach balances understanding where difficult feelings come from with learning new ways to respond.
She aims to meet people where they are and strengthen their existing resources so they can move forward more comfortably.

Online support
How emotion-focused and behavioral approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and reshape strong emotional patterns in relationships and within themselves. It focuses on how feelings guide interaction and aims to build clearer emotional connection and safety where needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and teaches practical skills to change those patterns and reduce symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that match personal values.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of EFT, CBT, or ACT fits their goals and life. That decision grows from conversation about what is most troubling, what has helped before, and what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls support face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or on-the-go check-ins are needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches that emphasize emotional work and skill building.
