About
My motto is “There are no bad kids; each is doing the best they can.” As a clinician with 15+ years working with some of the toughest kids and adolescents, I have yet to meet a client I cannot make some kind of connection with.
Rebecca Greenwood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has had over 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents diagnosed with mental health disorders as well as their families, particularly adolescents with depression/anxiety, self-esteem issues, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant, body dysmorphia, emotional deregulation issues, substance abuse issues, and parent-child relations. Rebecca has had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings from day treatment to community mental health clinics. Her work in community mental health centers allowed her not only to work with children and adolescents, but also with adults diagnosed with mental health disorders and dual diagnoses: depression, anxiety, mood disorders, workplace issues, and substance abuse issues.
Rebecca completed her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Hastings College and her Master of Science (MA) in Human Services with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling at Capella University. She is an Affiliate Sex Offender Treatment Provider (ASOTP). One thing that Rebecca has learned in working with adolescents, which she thinks is true for everyone, is that they want to feel heard and validated. Life can be really hard. Many of Rebecca’s clients have been in a great deal of emotional pain, some believing that the pain will never go away.
Rebecca’s therapeutic approach respects the person, providing a safe nonjudgmental climate. She uses a strengths-based and cognitive behavioral approach, and strives to find techniques that will fit each client. Rebecca views counseling as a team effort, working alongside you to help you meet your goals. Challenges do not have to define or incapacitate you. Rather, they can be the catalyst for growth and change in ways you may not expect. If you have struggled with or are struggling with emotional pain, Rebecca hopes that you will just try one more time. Come talk with her or another therapist. Life can be better. It’s time you start to live your best life, and it would be Rebecca’s honor and privilege to walk with you on your journey.

My go-to approach for helping people in teen therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. I enjoy CBT because you are able to work to shape their perception of themselves and life in a positive light.
I teach about the following in teen counseling: safety, relationships, triggers, anxiety, depression, stress regulation, coping skills, and self-esteem.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when their symptoms are decreasing in self-reports.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by taking the time to practice activities given to them in sessions.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can have an idea of areas where they think they struggle and not just have the parents say what is “wrong” with them.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in San Antonio have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in San Antonio, TX offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
