About Becky
Becky Presthus is a LMHP - Licensed Mental Health Practitioner practicing in Nebraska with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Becky often hears from people who are juggling blended household issues, changing relationships, and the pressure of competing responsibilities.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns, test small changes, and build clearer day-to-day routines. Sessions focus on what is happening now, and on steps a person can try between meetings.
Becky pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. She helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. That can be useful for addressing attachment concerns, abandonment worries, or the stress that comes with separation and divorce.
People working with her often want concrete communication tools and ways to manage anger and anxiety. She offers clear strategies for handling conflict, improving self-esteem, and reducing overwhelm. The emphasis is on practical skills that fit into busy lives.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Nebraska and extensive experience across a range of focus areas such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, dissociation, and domestic violence. Becky aims to help each person set manageable goals and measure progress over time.
Using CBT and Solution-Focused work in online sessions
Becky draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and test the thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and experiments to try between meetings, which can reduce worry and increase confidence in daily tasks. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that by narrowing attention to goals and small, achievable steps that move a person forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Becky collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Together they decide whether to emphasize cognitive strategies, brief solution-focused steps, or a mix of both based on what helps most.
