Rebecca Zabinski

Rebecca Zabinski is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 13 years of experience. She supports people who are trying to manage strong emotions, navigate life changes, or rebuild after difficult experiences. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to make sessions feel respectful and compassionate.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD. Rebecca also helps people facing trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, career stress, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.

Her background includes work with foster-care and adoption issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication or control issues. That experience informs how she notices patterns in relationships and emotional responses.

Rebecca draws from several approaches to shape treatment plans. She uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build trust, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change and self-awareness. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals.

She encourages small, practical steps that fit daily life. Rebecca helps people identify what feels most important to them, try different strategies, and adjust the plan over time. If someone wants support to reduce anger, cope with loss, or manage stress, she offers collaborative guidance and steady support.

How Rebecca Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Rebecca commonly draws on attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can help when strong emotions like anger or anxiety make it hard to think clearly. Rebecca combines these approaches to match what each person needs and wants to try.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to set goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. The first sessions focus on understanding priorities and testing practical strategies.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or making scheduling simpler. It can also allow shorter check-ins when those are more useful, or use audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt methods so therapeutic work remains practical and relevant to daily routines.
