Rebecca Preston, LMHC

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 substance use and the related emotional, relational, and physical challenges people bring. Rebecca also treats mood difficulties like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, and she has worked with people who have experienced complex trauma and attachment problems.

Her practice centers on plain, practical conversation and skill-building. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and problem-focused work. She aims to help people manage strong feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve day-to-day functioning.

Rebecca has worked across a wide age span and with diverse cultural backgrounds. She describes her approach as client-centered and trauma-informed, using techniques that encourage present-moment awareness and clearer thinking. These methods are applied to concerns such as anger, relationship conflict, sleep disruption, and coping with life changes.

In session she mixes listening with concrete tools - breathing and grounding, behavioral steps, and short goal-focused tasks. That mix can help when someone wants to curb snapping at loved ones, reduce workplace frustration, or manage buildup of resentment.

Her background in addiction services informs how she addresses co-occurring issues, including grief, chronic illness stress, caregiver strain, and attention challenges. People who want straightforward, practical support for strong emotions may find this approach useful.
