About Rebecca
Rebecca Zabinski is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 13 years of practice. She works with people who are seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, addictions, and other life changes. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.
She sees individuals across a range of ages and tailors conversations to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She draws from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help with thought patterns and daily routines. Rebecca also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That perspective can help with relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and feelings of abandonment.
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when people want help with change, such as addressing addictions or building healthier habits. Her style is interactive and compassionate. She aims to make sessions feel respectful and practical, with tools clients can use between meetings.
Rebecca adapts plans over time so therapy fits the person’s needs and life situation. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with chronic illness. She also supports those navigating sexual orientation and gender identity questions.
The focus is on steady progress and on building confidence to manage difficult moments.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related routines. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connection difficulties; it can be helpful for parenting concerns, abandonment issues, and relationship stress.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and effective for the individual's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work in real time with nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when a shorter exchange fits better into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice new skills between meetings.
