of Sothe -SRebekka Ouer, LCSW, is a licensed LGBTQ+ therapist in Texas and published author specializing in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for lesbian, gay, transgender, nonbinary, and queer clients. She offers gender-affirming care that prioritizes forward progress, without requiring clients to educate their therapist about identity.
Rebekka Ouer, LCSW-S, is an LGBTQ+ therapist and internationally recognized author & trainer with over a decade of clinical experience. She works with the queer community across Texas navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions.
Her work uses the structured, evidence-based model of Solution Focused Brief Therapy which is an affirming, identity-aware approach allowing clients to remain the expert in their lives & focus on meaningful change that they can often begin to see after just one visit.
For many LGBTQ+ individuals, therapy hasn’t always felt like a place where real progress happens.
You may have worked with therapists who were kind, but lacked the depth or experience to truly support & help you. That can leave you feeling stuck like you’re doing more explaining than actually getting help. Over time, this leads many people to pause or avoid therapy altogether.
Rebekka’s approach removes that barrier. With over 15 years of specialized experience in LGBTQ+ care, & lived experience as a lesbian living in Texas herself, she’s able to meet you where you are without requiring you to educate her on what it means to be a part of this community. That allows sessions to focus on forward movement from the very beginning.
In practice, that often means:
- Less time clarifying your identity
- More time working toward meaningful goals
- A stronger sense of being understood early on
- Guidance that reflects your real-world experiences
Clinical Expertise & Specialties
It’s easy to find therapists who say they’re “affirming.” It’s much harder to find someone with true specialization, as well as lived experience in this community in Texas. Rebekka’s work is grounded in advanced training, over 15 years of focused clinical experience, and the personal lived experience as a member of this community herself.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Rebekka works extensively with transgender, nonbinary, and queer clients navigating identity, relationships, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach recognizes the real-world stressors LGBTQ+ individuals face especially in environments where support may be limited.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
As a published author on SFBT with the LGBTQ+ community, Rebekka uses this evidence-based approach to help clients move forward with clarity and direction. Sessions are conversational, focused, intentional, and designed to create progress not just reflection.
Relationship & Identity Support
Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationships, or working through personal challenges, Rebekka offers structured support that adapts to your goals and pace.
Sessions are conversational, focused, and designed to help you engage without pressure. You won’t need to monitor your language or adjust how you show up. Instead, the work centers on clarity, direction, and real movement.
Clients often describe the experience as:
- Clear and focused, without feeling rushed
- Safe and comfortable enough to speak honestly
- Grounded in practical progress through her guided questions, not just aimless discussion
- Supportive without being overly clinical or distant
The goal is simple: create an environment where you can focus on what matters because you are safe, seen, comfortable & free to be your full authentic self.
Quick, confidential, and designed around your needs.
Credentials & Professional Background
When your identity and experiences are central to therapy, expertise matters and not all providers bring the same level of depth, knowledge, and even lived experience to these issues.
Rebekka is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas (License #53516) and a published author with Routledge, a globally recognized academic publisher. She also conducts trainings & supervision for other clinicians.
Her book, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with the LGBT Community, is used by other clinicians seeking to better support LGBTQ+ clients. This positions her not only as a passionate provider but as someone helping shape how LGBTQ+ therapy is practiced.
She is also a verified provider on Psychology Today.
Working with a specialist means you’re not starting from zero. You’re working with someone who already understands your context and can help you move forward more efficiently.
What Makes This Experience Different From “Affirming” Therapy?
Many therapists use the term “affirming,” but the level of expertise behind that label can vary widely.
In some cases, it reflects general openness or support. While that’s important, it doesn’t always translate into structured, effective care.
Rebekka’s approach is built on experience and specialization not just intention.
- Focused experience working with LGBTQ+ clients
- Familiarity with identity-related stress and context
- Use of evidence-based methods adapted for queer clients
- A balance of empathy and goal-oriented structure
The result is therapy that is both supportive and direction-driven so sessions lead somewhere meaningful.
Who This Is For
Not every therapist will be the right fit and finding the right one can take time.
Rebekka’s work is especially aligned for individuals or couples who:
- Identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community
- Want a therapist who already understands key aspects of their experience
- Prefer structured sessions with clear direction
- Are ready to focus on progress, not just processing
- Value both empathy and clinical expertise
If you’re looking for support that feels informed, focused, and relevant to your life, this approach may be a strong fit.
