Reegan Koppelman

Reegan Koppelman is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and life changes among her main focuses. She also works with substance use issues, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and career questions.

Reegan earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014. Her early work was in a clinic that treated both mental health and substance use disorders. Since 2017 she has shifted much of her practice to online work to better reach LGBTQIA+ people and women coping with trauma and childhood abuse.

Her clinical approach began with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness-based strategies and draws on Trauma-Focused methods when trauma is part of the story. She describes herself as trauma aware and continues to pursue additional training in trauma work.

In sessions she often spends extra time building rapport and strengthening the therapeutic relationship. That can mean taking a slower pace early on to learn how symptoms or behaviors show up day to day. She notes neurodivergent-affirming and informed work as part of her practice and is open to talking through concerns if someone suspects neurodivergence.

Practical issues are a common focus - coping tools for stress and anxiety, strategies for mood management, support around addiction and relapse prevention, and discussions about career or life purpose. Reegan encourages people to consider which problems feel most urgent and to start there.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and building a strong working relationship. Online sessions let the therapist and client take time to build rapport and pace work to the client’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises. CBT can fit well into online sessions through structured discussions, worksheets, and between-session tasks to practice new skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past events affect current coping and nervous system responses; it often combines grounding, pacing, and skill-building to manage symptoms and increase stability.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify which methods match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust over time. Many people try a blend of approaches at first and refine what works as sessions progress.

The profile indicates a move into online work but does not enumerate specific formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or messaging is provided. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how sessions can be structured to fit work, family, or other commitments.
