About Rebecca

Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health. She draws on long experience helping people through hard times like depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. Rebecca aims to make therapy a practical, hopeful step rather than something overwhelming.

She treats each person as a partner in therapy and avoids one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions focus on what a person needs right now and on small, achievable steps. Rebecca listens for strengths, motivation, and what might get in the way of change.

Her work often addresses relationships, parenting challenges, career stress, and struggles with self-esteem or intimacy. She also helps people facing grief, addiction, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related concerns. Rebecca supports people across a wide range of life stages, including aging and caregiver stress.

In sessions she uses conversational, practical methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic thinking. That mix helps when people want to change habits, improve communication, or process painful experiences.

Rebecca welcomes a collaborative pace. She helps people set clear goals, try manageable strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping people feel more capable and less stuck.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening and adapting to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed change by focusing on strengths and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits people want to change.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment needs inside relationships. It helps people name feelings, improve communication, and repair trust or connection issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to meet with licensed professionals across distances and keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
