01About Rebecca
Rebecca Theophilus greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life shifts. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, who aims to make first steps feel manageable. Rebecca offers a calm space to talk through worries without judgment and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.
She helps people address relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and career concerns with straightforward conversation and practical goals. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent for the person in front of her, whether that is panic attacks, persistent worry, or recovering from a difficult event.
Background and approach
Rebecca listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses. Her work also covers coping with life changes such as separation, role shifts in caregiving, and chronic health challenges. She pays attention to issues like attachment, feelings of abandonment, and isolation so clients can rebuild connection with themselves and others.
Rebecca balances exploring difficult memories with concrete steps to reduce distress in day-to-day life. With eight years of professional experience, she brings steady support and practical problem-solving to sessions. Rebecca encourages collaboration on goals and checks in about what is and isn’t helping.
She emphasizes small, sustainable changes that fit into a person’s routine. Rebecca practices in South Dakota and offers sessions in English. If you are ready to begin, she asks people to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

04Online support
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and regain control. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that increase anxiety or cause panic; it teaches practical coping skills and experiments to test new responses. Another approach works with traumatic memories and their effects by helping people safely name what happened, reduce intense reactions, and rebuild daily routines that feel manageable.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist discusses your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommends methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps most, so the work stays collaborative and focused on your priorities.
For practical reasons, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people continue care when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, will talk with each person about the best way to meet given their needs and circumstances.
