About Me
Rebecca MCDANIEL, MSW, LMSW
I am a passionate person. The passion I have for life led me to drastically change my career from advertising to social work, move across the country and leave a comfortable job to go back to graduate school. You see, I’ve experienced my own transitions… several times over, including moves to big cities, the mountains of North Carolina, and now, back to Michigan. Each change came with a mixture of emotions, challenges and growth experiences. I truly understand how hard transitions can be.
My clients need guidance navigating the curve balls life inevitably throws at us all, while creating a plan to get unstuck. In addition to transitions, my treatment specialties include perfectionism, anxiety, depression and relational concerns.
I am a firm believer that therapy is a relationship between me and you, so you’ll find I show emotion in our sessions. I might gasp when you say something shocking, laugh when something funny is said, or get excited when something good happens. I am not here to judge you, but rather help you make the changes you feel are necessary to lead the life you want. I am direct while providing support in a safe environment.
I will pull from the following techniques throughout my work with you. Together, we will create a tailored plan to best fit your unique needs. Therapy is not one size fits all.
– Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
– Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
