Rebecca Hyatt, LCSW

Rebecca Hyatt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 40 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and big life changes. She aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

Her style emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. She listens closely to what matters most to each person and uses that understanding to guide sessions. Rebecca draws on client-centered methods to center the person's experience and build trust.

She also uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals. These approaches are applied in everyday language and tailored to each situation.

Rebecca has worked across many settings during her career, and that experience informs a straightforward, compassionate approach in sessions. She helps people talk through family of origin concerns, isolation and loneliness, workplace stress, and challenges around aging and geriatric issues. Her work includes support for codependency, communication problems, and coping after separation or divorce.

People who meet with Rebecca can expect practical conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and gentle encouragement toward change. She invites prospective clients to consider therapy as a step toward clearer choices and steadier coping.

How Rebecca’s approaches work in online therapy

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to make space for each person’s concerns and priorities, focusing on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. This approach helps people feel understood and shapes goals around what matters to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and worry about life transitions. Solution-focused therapy is applied to spot strengths and set achievable steps, which can be helpful when someone wants practical progress on a specific problem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss different options and adjust methods based on the person’s goals, preferences, and how they respond to early sessions. The process is collaborative and centered on what the client finds most useful.
