About Rebecca
Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She has focused much of her work on people coping with substance use and the emotional and relational fallout that often comes with it. Rebecca also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and the aftereffects of complex trauma.
She has worked with clients who have histories of childhood attachment disruptions and intergenerational trauma. Rebecca’s practice includes people managing mood disorders, personality challenges, sleep problems, grief, and stress linked to caregiving or chronic illness. Codependency, communication struggles, and abandonment concerns are among the patterns she often addresses.
Her style blends mindfulness with a client-centered way of working. Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical skills. Clients can expect guidance in noticing automatic thoughts, practicing present-moment awareness, and testing small behavior changes between meetings.
Rebecca draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and measure progress in concrete ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools come in when thoughts and behaviors are keeping someone stuck.
She works in English and practices in New York. International clients are not accepted. Financial arrangements vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rebecca uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present-day patterns. This helps when trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship cycles are central concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s own goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviors in small steps, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss what feels most useful, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. This collaborative process helps set short-term goals and practical next steps between meetings.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let someone join from a quieter spot when they have a break at work. Rebecca pairs the above approaches with practical exercises that clients can practice between sessions to support steady progress.
