Rebecca Zabinski, LPCC

Rebecca Zabinski is a Minnesota licensed professional clinical counselor with 13 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them find clearer ways to cope. Her approach aims to make therapy feel approachable and doable for everyday life.

She offers straightforward, respectful care for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing life changes, career questions, body image worries, and challenges related to adoption, aging, chronic illness, or caregiving.

Rebecca combines several practical therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, attachment-based perspectives to look at relationship patterns, mindfulness practices to steady attention, and motivational interviewing to support change. Sessions aim to be interactive and tailored to what matters most to the individual.

Her style is warm, compassionate, and respectful. She adapts language and activities to suit different ages and needs, including using creative or play-based elements when helpful. The focus is on small, manageable steps so people can see progress between sessions.

If someone is ready to explore change, she offers guided support to build confidence and practical coping skills. Prospective clients are invited to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online work

Rebecca often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person’s experience and following their pace, which can help when sorting out relationship issues, identity questions, or parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful routines.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That perspective can be useful for people feeling stuck in repeated conflicts or who want to change how they relate to others. Together, the therapist and client decide which approaches fit best based on goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. This is a collaborative process and may shift as work progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, or join a shorter check-in between commitments. Different formats can also allow for quieter, camera-off conversations or interactive sessions that use exercises and worksheets suited to the chosen approach.
