About Rebecca
Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eight years of clinical experience in New York. She works mostly with people who are coping with substance use and the emotional or physical problems that often go along with it. She also helps those dealing with mood conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar concerns, as well as people managing trauma and attachment wounds.
Her style is warm, empathetic, and sometimes playful. She emphasizes a mindful, client-centered way of working and aims to help people meet themselves with more kindness. Sessions focus on practical tools alongside moments of reflection and skill building.
Rebecca has worked with people who have complex trauma histories, including intergenerational patterns and childhood attachment difficulties. She brings that background into helping clients understand how past experiences shape current reactions, relationships, and sleep or rest patterns.
In the room she combines mindfulness practices with evidence-informed techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses solution-focused steps when a client needs concrete, attainable goals. The result is collaborative work that balances symptom relief with deeper understanding.
Many clients come seeking help for stress, anger, grief, ADHD-related struggles, body image or relationship communication problems. Rebecca supports people who want tools to cope, improve sleep and rest, and rebuild day-to-day functioning one step at a time.
How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people notice patterns in relationships and learn new ways to feel safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it helps people change unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Clients often blend mindfulness, CBT, and attachment-focused ideas rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions that better match a person's daily schedule. For some people, video helps with nonverbal connection while phone check-ins can be simpler when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Discuss format preferences during the intake so sessions support rest, regular routines, and progress toward personal goals.
