Rebecca Preston, LMHC

Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She has over eight years of clinical experience helping people manage addiction, mood disorders, and the emotional fallout of trauma. Rebecca often meets clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, or sleep and self-esteem struggles.

Her background includes work with people who have complex trauma and attachment wounds. She has helped those dealing with substance use and the many relational and physical challenges that can follow. Rebecca also brings experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue, grief, and a range of communication and control issues.

Rebecca’s style is warm, empathetic, and sometimes playful. She leans toward Mindfulness-based counseling and centers the person in the conversation. Sessions focus on practical tools, noticing thoughts and everyday habits, and building small changes that feel doable.

She describes her role as walking alongside clients while they practice new ways of coping. Rebecca uses Attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and Client-centered listening to follow the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral techniques and solution-focused moments are used to break down problems into manageable steps.

People who appreciate gentle honesty and steady support may find her approach helpful. If your life feels chaotic, or if habits and strong emotions are getting in the way, she helps people talk through what to try next and how to make those changes last.

How Rebecca’s approaches fit into online therapy

Rebecca uses Mindfulness-based counseling to help people notice their thoughts and everyday habits, learn grounding practices, and create small routines that reduce reactivity. This approach can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching tangible calming skills. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns show up now; the work focuses on identifying common interaction cycles and practicing new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are guided by what the person wants to change and what feels most useful in day-to-day life rather than a fixed method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten transit time, and allow sessions during a break from work or school. It can also mean using audio-only or shorter check-in meetings when that better suits someone's needs. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT-style tasks, and attachment-focused conversations to an online setting to help people practice change between sessions.
