Rebecca Wiklanski, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Rebecca

Rebecca Wiklanski is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She focuses on helping people build self-esteem, manage stress and anxiety, and work through trauma and life changes. Her style is warm and adaptable.

She aims to create a welcoming space for people from diverse identities and perspectives. Rebecca draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address emotional patterns.

Background and approach

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) where they fit the client's needs. In sessions she emphasizes practical tools and clear steps. Conversations often include learning coping skills, practicing new ways of thinking, and trying exercises between meetings.

The work is collaborative and paced to what an individual can manage. Rebecca has seven years of clinical experience. She works with concerns such as relationship stress, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, grief, and issues related to adoption and foster care.

She also addresses mood and panic symptoms, personality concerns, and communication struggles. People who choose Rebecca can expect a nonjudgmental approach that respects their background and goals. She welcomes questions about methods and offers straightforward explanations so clients know what to expect.

Online approaches that focus on healing and skill building

Rebecca commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful emotional patterns. EFT focuses on the feelings under difficult interactions and can help with relationship stress and emotional overwhelm.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for working through traumatic memories and intense reactions. EMDR guides attention while processing memories to reduce their emotional charge and make day-to-day coping easier.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and what feels comfortable. Together they choose or combine methods so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single style.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people connect from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue work between in-person visits when needed. Remote formats also allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapy meetings depending on what a client prefers.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
