About Rebecca
Rebecca Wagner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years of experience based in New York. She helps people facing strong emotions like anger, anxiety, and depression. Parents and individuals turn to her for help with trauma, self-harm urges, and challenges that come from major life changes.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She listens carefully and works with each client to build practical skills they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Rebecca blends client-centered care with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address tough moments and recurring patterns. Rebecca has long used telehealth to offer more frequent check-ins and moment-to-moment skills coaching. She finds short video or messaging contacts useful for reinforcing new habits and coping strategies.
This makes therapy easier to fit around work, school, and family responsibilities. Clients who want clear steps and steady support often find her style direct but empathetic. Sessions focus on concrete strategies such as mood tracking, behavioral experiments, and emotion regulation skills.
Rebecca also incorporates solution-focused work when people want practical plans and fast wins. Her background includes extensive work with trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and parenting issues. She is comfortable addressing communication problems, impulsivity, panic attacks, and the aftermath of sexual assault.
Rebecca speaks English and works with adults in New York seeking help with these concerns.

Therapeutic tools adapted for online care
Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage intense feelings and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they track what helps, adjust strategies, and add skills based on progress and changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows for face-to-face conversations and skills coaching, phone calls can fit into a short break, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or practice prompts between longer sessions. This range of formats helps people keep momentum and apply new skills in everyday life.
