Reegan Koppelman , LMHC

Reegan Koppelman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with eight years of experience. She centers her work on a person-focused style that lets people set the pace. Sessions aim to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBT concerns in straightforward, practical ways.

Her background includes time in a clinic treating both mental health and substance use issues. Since 2017 she has shifted much of her work online to better reach LGBTQIA+ people and women who have trauma histories. She describes her approach as trauma aware and continues ongoing education in trauma-focused care.

Reegan usually begins with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to help people identify patterns and make small changes. She pairs these with client-centered conversation and mindfulness tools when those fit. That way the focus stays on what each person needs in the moment.

Her clinical experience covers a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people facing fertility and adoption questions, caregiver stress, and aging-related topics.

Reegan is neurodivergent-affirming and open to discussing sensory and attention concerns when people suspect they might be relevant. She welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English through several online formats to match different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and adapting to the person's pace; it aims to build trust and let people set goals they care about. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers clear steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences while teaching skills to manage triggers and nervous system dysregulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with short-term CBT skills, weaving in mindfulness practices, or using trauma-focused techniques over time based on progress and preference.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, live chat supports quick exchanges during the day, and messaging can help maintain connection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
