About Rebecca

Rebecca Wagner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage trauma, mood concerns, stress, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 19 years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed techniques to support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and self-esteem struggles. Her background also includes work with issues such as sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and impulsivity.

She emphasizes a client-centered stance, meeting each person where they are and building treatment around their goals and strengths. Rebecca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills alongside solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to offer practical tools and coping strategies.

She values telehealth as a way to provide more frequent touchpoints and brief check-ins that can reinforce skill use between sessions. Rebecca invites people seeking a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach to consider scheduling an initial appointment.

She balances her practice responsibilities with other commitments, so availability may vary, but she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Practical Skills

Rebecca uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work, focusing on personal goals and lived experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a central part of her practice, offering structured strategies to identify patterns of thought and behavior and develop measurable steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with clients to determine what methods fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape treatment priorities, whether the emphasis is on skill-building, trauma processing, or short-term problem solving.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular contact, allow for brief check-ins between longer sessions, and support in-the-moment skills coaching when challenges arise.
