About Rebecca
Rebecca Wiklanski is a licensed master social worker in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She emphasizes building self-esteem and personal growth through practical conversations and steady support. Rebecca aims to create a warm, accepting space that honors diverse identities and life experiences.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs. Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Rebecca has seven years of clinical experience working with trauma, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. She works with people coping with compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, grief from separation, and the anxiety that comes with change.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues and challenges tied to mood and personality concerns. In sessions she keeps language direct and practical. People can expect focused problem-solving, skill practice, and space to talk through difficult emotions.
She tailors tools to everyday life so coping strategies fit real schedules and responsibilities. Rebecca offers therapy in English and provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. In practice this looks like identifying goals, noticing thoughts without fighting them, and trying doable behaviors to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new responses to reduce anxiety and panic. Sessions often include brief exercises and homework to practice skills between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories; when appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted into online work to support people coping with past events.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods collaboratively. Clients are encouraged to speak up about what feels helpful so techniques can be adjusted over time to suit their pace and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and written summaries to refer back to between sessions. Together these options make it easier to match therapy to a busy life while focusing on skills for anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.
