Rebecca Dries, LPMHC

Rebecca Dries is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPMHC) practicing in Delaware. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University, a CACREP accredited program, and is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board for Certified Counselors. She was an active member of the Chi Sigma Iota counseling honor society while in graduate school.

With five years of clinical experience, Rebecca has worked with a diverse adult population and offers focused care for individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. She also provides crisis intervention and has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and issues related to LGBTQ identities. Her practice emphasizes access to quality mental health care that is inclusive and informed by cultural context.

Rebecca grounds her work in a person-centered approach, prioritizing acceptance and meeting clients where they are. She personalizes treatment plans and draws from multiple therapeutic models, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, expressive arts approaches, and feminist theory. She has received training in dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-informed methods, and she integrates elements of these approaches to address each client s unique needs and goals.

Approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Rebecca integrates client-centered therapy with evidence-based techniques to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and acceptance, helping clients build self-understanding and confidence while navigating life changes and relationship challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress and strong emotions, offering tools for grounding and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca collaborates with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts interventions over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility limits and allow consistent access to a licensed professional without travel. Rebecca uses these formats to deliver the same intentional, tailored support available in traditional settings, while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling needs.
