About Rebecca
Rebecca Roark is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, misunderstood, or like they have lost control of their life. Rebecca uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person.
She works with practical steps so clients can move toward clearer choices and everyday relief. Rebecca draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in daily life.
Background and approach
She pairs that with client-centered listening to make sure each session follows the person's pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to find and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over nine years she has helped people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.
She also focuses on issues such as parenting strain, family conflict, identity and LGBT concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes like divorce or illness. Rebecca pays attention to patterns that leave people feeling isolated or empty and helps them name those patterns. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Rebecca helps people set small, realistic goals and practices they can try between meetings. She uses mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or present-moment awareness is helpful. Her approach is down-to-earth and responsive.

Online support
Approach and online care that fits your life
Rebecca often uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, choices, and the values that shape daily life. This approach can be useful when someone feels empty, stuck in a life transition, or unsure about priorities. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around what the person needs in the moment.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way. CBT offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood. Together these approaches are used collaboratively; finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, test approaches, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy lets people access these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a work break or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps process thoughts. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit a busy schedule or different comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical steps and meaning-focused reflection.
