Rebecca Preston, LMHC

Rebecca Preston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She has focused much of her work on people dealing with substance use and the emotional, relational, and physical challenges that often come with addiction. Rebecca also supports people managing mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar, as well as those recovering from trauma and attachment-related concerns.

Her background includes helping people with complex trauma, including intergenerational patterns and childhood attachment issues. She has worked with a broad range of ages and cultural backgrounds. Rebecca draws on approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness and practical skills.

In session she uses mindfulness-based counseling alongside client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means conversations tend to focus on noticing patterns, testing small changes, and building concrete coping tools. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and track progress.

Rebecca aims to keep sessions straightforward and often uses a light, human tone to make hard topics easier to talk about. She works with concerns common in early adulthood including stress, relationship challenges, identity questions, and difficulties with sleep and focus.

Families, caregiving stress, grief, anger, and neurodiversity-related concerns also appear in her practice. People who want a mix of skills training, reflective work about attachment, and brief goal-oriented planning may find her approach fits their needs.
