About Rebecca
Rebecca Wiklanski, LMSW, focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and trauma. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her style aims to build clearer self-understanding and help people find workable steps forward.
Rebecca draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take small, meaningful actions.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with strategies that improve day-to-day functioning. Her work often addresses family-related concerns and parenting stress without assuming a single way forward. Rebecca helps parents and individuals sort through communication problems, guilt, shame, and the emotional strain that comes with caregiving or big life changes.
With seven years of clinical experience and a Michigan Licensed Master of Social Work credential, she blends practical tools with a warm, accepting stance. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, skill-building, and real-world practice between meetings. Rebecca aims to create a welcoming space for people from diverse backgrounds, including Christian and LGBTQ+ identities.
The emphasis is on respectful, nonjudgmental support that helps people strengthen resilience and move toward the changes they want. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward talk, collaborative planning, and steps to manage symptoms while building long-term coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Rebecca often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps that match those values. ACT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and parenting decisions by focusing on what matters rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that make day-to-day life harder. CBT provides concrete tools for tackling panic, low mood, or repetitive negative thinking and can help with practical parenting strategies and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as needs change. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and which to keep.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a commute or a tight schedule, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue progress without added travel time.
