Reegan Koppelman , LMHC

Reegan Koppelman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She earned a master of arts in Mental Health Counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014 through their online program and began her career working in a clinic that served clients with both mental health and substance use concerns. In 2017 she shifted much of her work online to better serve specific communities, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and women coping with trauma and childhood wounds.

Her foundational training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing, and she often pairs those methods with a client-centered approach that prioritizes rapport and meeting each person where they are. She describes herself as trauma-aware and is pursuing additional training to deepen trauma-focused skills. Reegan is also neurodivergent-affirming and open to exploring symptoms and supports for people who suspect they may be neurodivergent.

Clinically she has supported people facing anxiety, depression, stress and coping challenges, substance use issues, trauma-related difficulties, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic illness adjustment. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside empathic listening to help clients build skills, manage life changes, and reconnect with their strengths. Reegan aims to create an accepting space where clients can work through complex experiences and develop sustainable coping tools.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Trauma Support

Reegan uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the individual's experience, creating a collaborative space where the therapist follows the client's pace and values empathy and validation - this approach helps when building trust and addressing relational or identity-related concerns.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is action-oriented and useful for clients who want structured techniques and measurable progress.

Because trauma is a focus of her work, she integrates trauma-informed principles and trauma-focused methods that attend to how past experiences affect present functioning, nervous system regulation, and coping. These approaches aim to reduce reactivity and support gradual healing from trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Reegan and clients work together to choose techniques that fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences, adapting methods over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access care across distances. For many people, these options increase consistency and continuity of care while allowing therapists to tailor communication styles to each client's comfort and practical needs.
