About Rebecca
Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has eight years of clinical experience helping people who are managing addiction, mood struggles, and the fallout of trauma. Her manner is warm and often playful, which many clients find makes hard conversations easier to face.
She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar disorder, and sleep problems. Rebecca also supports those coping with relationship strain, grief, caregiver stress, and the complicated feelings that come with chronic illness.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to ADHD, attachment worries, and patterns like codependency and avoidant behavior. Rebecca draws on client-centered methods and mindfulness in session. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools and solution-focused techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build manageable steps forward.
Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about early relationships and how they shape current trust and closeness. Sessions focus on practical tools and steady support. Rebecca aims to help people build self-compassion, stronger communication, and clearer routines for sleep and stress.
She frames recovery as an ongoing process and positions herself as a collaborator who walks alongside each person. Her work is suited to people who want a down-to-earth therapist who mixes empathy with concrete strategies. Rebecca offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Practical approaches and online care
Rebecca uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current trust and connection. This approach helps when fear of abandonment, attachment issues, or trouble forming close bonds are getting in the way of relationships.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, anger, and for building step-by-step habits that support better sleep and mood regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca talks with each person about goals and preferences, then blends methods to fit the issue at hand. She aims to match tools to your needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows a face-to-face feel, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
