About Rebecca
Rebecca Boardman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 14 years of therapy experience. She aims to make reaching out feel less overwhelming and treats people with respect and dignity. Rebecca listens without judgment and helps clients sort through stress, anxiety, addiction, mood struggles, and life transitions.
Her style is interactive and client-centered. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and use clear, practical steps. Rebecca draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from dialectical behavior skills to build emotional regulation and coping strategies.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters most and take steps toward those values. Attachment-based perspective guides work on close relationships and patterns that repeat across partnerships. Activities and exercises are chosen to match each person's needs and goals.
Rebecca earned a Master of Social Work from West Virginia University and holds LISW and LICSW credentials. She has experience supporting people with trauma, addiction, ADHD, bipolar conditions, grief, and parenting stress, among other concerns. Her approach is straightforward while remaining empathetic.
Sessions emphasize collaborative planning so clients know what to expect. Rebecca invites people who are ready to take a step toward change to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their situation.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection shapes current reactions; it can help when relationship patterns, intimacy, or attachment concerns cause distress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Rebecca will work with each person to figure out which combination of strategies fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and adjusting based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use exercises and worksheets during or between meetings, and it supports continuity of care when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused techniques to an online setting to keep goals clear and progress measurable.
