About Rebecca

Rebecca Wiklanski, LMSW, uses a compassionate, client-focused approach to help people address stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. She blends evidence-based methods with an emphasis on building self-esteem and practical coping skills, adapting interventions to each person’s history and goals.

Background and approach

Her training includes EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy, which inform her work with trauma, attachment-related concerns, and emotional processing. Rebecca creates an accepting environment that honors diverse identities and perspectives, including those who identify as Christian or LGBTQ+.

She centers sessions on understanding a person’s life story and strengthening resilience through collaborative goal-setting and skill-building. Over seven years of practice in Michigan, she has supported folks facing parenting and caregiver stress, family conflicts, grief and life transitions, and symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders.

Clients can expect respectful, nonjudgmental support aimed at increasing self-understanding and practical strategies for everyday functioning. Rebecca emphasizes pacing treatment to fit individual needs while drawing on a range of therapeutic tools to help clients reduce distress, improve relationships, and move toward personally meaningful change.

Integrating Evidence-Based Therapy with Online Access

Rebecca often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address a range of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, mood difficulties, and coping with life changes. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories and sensations to reduce the emotional impact of trauma and abuse.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time to find the best fit for healing and growth. This means clients can expect a paced, individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapeutic support from different locations within Michigan. Licensed professionals can combine these formats with the described approaches to deliver consistent, goal-oriented care that fits real-world constraints.
