Rebecca Murray, LCPC

Rebecca Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois who supports people navigating difficult life experiences. She works with individuals facing grief and loss, compassion fatigue and burnout, low self-esteem, boundary difficulties, anxiety, depression, and challenges with anger management. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes, and finding renewed purpose.

Rebecca primarily draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using structured techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing emotions and behaviors. She complements this with a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for each person to be heard and to explore their priorities.

Rebecca approaches therapy with the belief that people have the capacity for growth and meaningful change. She aims to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can work through painful experiences, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward clearer goals for their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This method is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured therapy designed to help process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions. EMDR can be helpful for people who have experienced traumatic events and continue to feel overwhelmed by those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face connection from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for people who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
