About Rebecca
Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with eight years of clinical work. She focuses on helping people who struggle with addiction, trauma, mood challenges, and persistent anxiety. Her style is warm, empathetic, and sometimes playful to make hard conversations easier to handle.
Rebecca often meets people dealing with substance use and the emotional or relationship problems that come with it. She also supports people who have experienced complex trauma and attachment wounds from childhood.
Background and approach
Her work includes help for depression, bipolar disorder, and a range of personality-related concerns. In sessions she centers the person in front of her and uses mindfulness to help people notice what is happening without getting overwhelmed. That client-centered approach means sessions move at a pace that fits each person.
Rebecca adds practical tools from cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused ideas when they match a person’s goals. She pays attention to how relationships and early attachment shape current patterns. That can look like mapping how expectations developed, practicing new ways of asking for support, or learning to calm the body when old memories trigger big reactions.
Rebecca aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions. Rebecca works with adults from diverse backgrounds and keeps language simple and direct. She invites people to bring curiosity and honest questions to therapy while she helps them set realistic steps toward change.
How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Rebecca uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shaped current patterns. That work often involves noticing how expectations and fears show up in present relationships and practicing new, kinder ways of asking for support.She also draws on mindfulness and client-centered methods. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and body reactions without getting swept away, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma reactions, and stress. The client-centered part means sessions follow each person's pace and priorities, with the therapist reflecting back what she hears and helping people make sense of their experience.
Finding the right way to work is a team effort. Rebecca will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try different tools, and adjust methods when needed so the approach fits the person's needs and life circumstances.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice interaction skills, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messages allow ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep up with steady progress.
