About Rebecca

Rebecca Markonni is a licensed social worker in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and intimacy concerns. She takes a direct, supportive approach and centers each session on a person’s strengths.

Background and approach

Rebecca aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear. She has worked in crisis intervention for several years and has experience with people from many backgrounds and life situations.

That work shaped a calm, practical style that helps people steady themselves during hard moments. Sessions include listening, practical coping skills, and planning small steps forward.

Rebecca uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Many clients come with relationship concerns, intimacy questions, or problems tied to stress and trauma.

Rebecca also supports people with ADHD, addictions, identity-related concerns, career decisions, and life transitions. She pays attention to cultural background and how it affects each person’s experience.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats people as the experts on their lives while offering tools and perspectives they can try between sessions.

The goal is steady progress, not perfection.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses the Gottman Method ideas to focus on communication patterns and practical ways to improve interactions. This approach looks at how people talk, manage conflict, and build positive shared moments to ease relationship stress. She also incorporates attachment-based therapy, which examines how early relationship experiences shape present reactions and emotional needs. That perspective helps when issues involve trust, abandonment fears, or repeating patterns with others. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use techniques from different models to fit those needs. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge. Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, quick coping tools, or when shorter, more frequent contact feels helpful.
