About Rebecca
Rebecca Wiklanski is a licensed master of social work who focuses on helping people build self-esteem and navigate difficult life moments. She brings a compassionate, adaptable style to sessions and aims to make people feel heard and respected. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand feelings and take steps that match their values.
Background and approach
Rebecca also brings experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma work is needed. Rebecca aims to create a welcoming space for people of many identities, including those who identify as Christian or LGBTQ+. She emphasizes listening first, then working together to set practical goals.
Sessions focus on learning skills, trying new ways of relating, and managing stress in day-to-day life. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting strains, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing issues like divorce, communication problems, fertility challenges, caregiver stress, and mood or personality-related struggles.
Clients can expect straightforward, respectful work that balances emotional insight with practical steps. Rebecca draws on seven years of experience in social work to tailor support to each person's situation and to help them move toward clearer choices and steadier emotional footing.

Online support
How emotion-focused and skill-based approaches work online
Rebecca often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track strong emotions and see how those feelings shape relationships and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-guided steps even when emotions are difficult. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client set the pace.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotion processing, values and behavior change, or a gentler, listening-based path.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for richer emotional work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone calls can fit into a busy day or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coping tools between sessions, or for people who prefer written communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
