About Rebecca
Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works primarily with people facing substance use and the emotional, relational, and physical challenges that often accompany addiction. She also helps those managing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and sleep difficulties.
Rebecca has worked with people who report complex and intergenerational trauma and with those noticing patterns that trace back to childhood attachment. She accepts clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and has experience across a wide adult age range.
Her style centers on mindfulness and a client-centered attitude. Sessions include practical exercises to slow down reaction patterns, and brief, clear skills you can try between meetings. She keeps a light, human tone so the work doesn’t feel heavier than it needs to be.
Rebecca draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current choices. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build concrete alternatives. Solution-focused steps help set short-term goals and measure progress.
Expect straightforward conversations about patterns, repeated choices, and the feelings they bring up. Rebecca encourages people to notice how family of origin dynamics still shape daily life, and she helps them map out different options for relating and coping.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rebecca uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. This approach focuses on connection styles, typical reactions in close relationships, and practical ways to try new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety or depressive thinking. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention practices to help slow down reactivity and improve sleep and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose a mix of techniques and check what is helping as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use phone-only or video options depending on bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, or the need for a quicker session during a work break. Talk with Rebecca when you match to confirm which session types she currently offers.
