Rebekah Maupin

My name is Rebekah Maupin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with couples and adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the different needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy to help me and the client understand what is important to them and what they want to achieve during the session.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for all types of clients who may be dealing with the pressures and stress of everyday life. This most often manifests in symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression which can have a huge impact on life. My approach is to help the client address how they are feeling and look at both how it is they came to feel that way and how they would like to feel instead. In doing so I work to help my clients acknowledge these feelings in a positive way and explore ways of addressing them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

My communication style

My communication style is open, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking about whatever topic is on their minds without fear of judgment or disapproval.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist after learning that I was able to remain calm and understanding of others during difficult times. With that, I worked with several different populations of people using many different approaches in order to assist them. I found that I enjoy working with individuals and couples the best and am always excited to see them grow and change throughout the therapy process.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to first acknowledge how they are feeling and what it is they want to achieve about those feelings. This will often begin with getting to know each other and becoming comfortable with what they want to achieve during the session.

My first session with you

What you can expect from our first session together is to spend the majority of time talking about how you are doing currently and me asking questions to be able and get a better idea of why you are feeling that way. The first session is about making you feel comfortable and exploring what topics you may want to cover during our time together.
