Rebecca Wiklanski, LMSW

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Rebecca frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and take steps that match their values. CBT focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior and trying practical experiments to reduce anxiety and panic. ACT helps people accept difficult emotions while committing to small actions that move toward meaningful goals.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns and intense emotions are the focus. EFT-style work concentrates on identifying core feelings and learning new ways to express needs so interactions feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your history, current goals, and daily constraints, then suggest methods to try together. Rebecca adapts pace and techniques based on what feels manageable and useful for each person.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and longer work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports focused check-ins, and messaging fits short reflections or between-session support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
