Becky PresthusLMHP

Becky Presthus is a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or low self-esteem. Becky aims to make the first steps feel manageable so clients can begin to feel steadier and more in control.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space to process difficult feelings and to practice new coping skills.

Becky has worked across many concerns over the years, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, loss and separation, and domestic violence. She brings that long experience to each client without assuming a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead she listens first and tailors steps to the person in front of her.

People often come to her when they are navigating life transitions, healing from past experiences, or trying to find clearer direction. She helps clients build practical strategies, strengthen coping skills, and make steady changes that fit daily life. Becky explains ideas in plain language and focuses on what will be useful right now.

For someone feeling uncertain about pregnancy, childbirth, or the life changes that surround them, she provides steady support and practical tools to manage stress and mood while people figure out next steps.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Becky uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She and the client identify small experiments or practice tasks that can change how someone thinks or acts, which often helps reduce anxiety and low mood.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on what the person wants to see change and on building tiny, practical steps to get there. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, concrete strategies for managing stress or moving through a life transition.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Becky will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. She combines elements from different methods when that fits the client’s needs and keeps adapting the plan as progress is made.
