Rebecca Zabinski

Rebecca Zabinski is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 13 years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical help for people who are coping with overwhelming stress, mood struggles, or painful life events. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she focuses on clear, doable steps that fit each person's life.

Rebecca typically works with people from early adolescence into adulthood. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan around their goals. Sessions often include problem-solving, emotional processing, and skills practice to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family stress, grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, and attention differences. Additional areas she supports include adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and coping with life transitions.

Rebecca uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events are central, attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, client-centered listening to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques for thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices for stress and focus.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims to create a place where people can try out new ways of coping, build confidence, and move toward the life they want.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process difficult past events and reduce their day-to-day impact, often combining careful pacing with practical coping tools. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about important relationships and how patterns from the past affect current connections. Client-centered therapy means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify goals and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Please confirm which online session formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use different tools like mindfulness exercises or worksheets during a session, and can be easier to schedule around school, work, or caregiving duties.
