About Rebecca Dykes
Rebecca Dykes, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of mental health experience in Florida. Alongside clinical work, she serves as a college professor and Department Chair, bringing an educator’s perspective to helping people understand patterns, skills, and practical next steps. She also spends time studying theology and neurotheology, exploring where faith and brain science intersect, and she is Certified in Biblical Counseling, incorporating faith-based modalities when they are a fit for the client’s preferences and goals.
Rebecca has a particular passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals as they navigate a predominantly neurotypical world. To strengthen this focus, she is a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist. Her approach is grounded in meeting people where they are, offering steady support through difficult seasons, and helping clients build tools for coping and change at a pace that feels manageable.
Her background spans a wide range of settings and age groups, including work with children navigating attachment concerns and sensory dysregulation, adolescents working on emotional regulation, executive functioning, and peer relationships, and adults facing domestic violence, anxiety, or addictions. She has also supported active duty military members with the challenges of deployment and reintegration, with experience across inpatient, outpatient, forensic or court-related systems, and community development environments. Rebecca also considers it a privilege to support pastors and ministry leaders as they manage the complexity of ministry life and work through spiritual burnout.
Her style is direct while remaining warm, respectful, and compassionate, and she strives to avoid stigmatizing labels. She offers some Saturday phone sessions and evening text sessions by request.

Skill-Building Therapy, Adapted for Online Support
Rebecca Dykes draws from approaches that keep therapy practical, grounded, and responsive to what a client is facing. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where the client’s perspective leads the work, which can be especially helpful when stress, grief, life changes, or identity questions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding, often useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can support clients who feel stuck in intense emotions or relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and decide which tools fit best, adjusting the pace and focus as needs change over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent support with more flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, choosing the format that works best for their schedule, comfort level, and communication style.
