Rebecca Marrs, LMFT

Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than ten years of clinical experience. She has worked across the lifespan, providing care to clients from infancy through older adulthood, and has supported people in homes, schools, community settings, agencies, and private practice. Her experience includes working with people from foster care and adoption backgrounds, survivors of trauma and domestic violence, individuals navigating separation or reunification, clients involved in court-ordered therapy, and those identifying as LGBTQIA+.

Rebecca has supported clients managing a range of mental health concerns, including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, OCD, adjustment disorders, school phobia, and oppositional defiant disorder. Her intake process incorporates a mental status exam and a collaborative conversation about why a person has chosen to begin therapy, and she uses that information to shape therapeutic, personal, and professional goals together with each client. As an LMFT Rebecca brings training in family and relationship systems to her work while remaining attentive to individual needs.

Her approach emphasizes mutual collaboration - clients are invited to share their priorities and to participate in decisions about treatment. In sessions she aims to create a respectful, validating environment where people are heard and supported as they work toward clearer goals and healthier patterns of relating and coping.

Online Approaches for Healing and Connection

Rebecca Marrs uses several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach is helpful for people seeking understanding, emotional validation, and support in exploring personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-oriented; it helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences while teaching coping strategies for managing symptoms and triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rebecca collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find what works best for the individual. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to relationship, emotional, and symptom-focused objectives.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
