About Rebecca
Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health care. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Rebecca also addresses ADHD, self-esteem, sleeping problems, and LGBT-related concerns.
Rebecca treats each person as a collaborator and uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions. She commonly draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and understand what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Her background includes long-term work with adults across a range of concerns, including trauma and caregiving stress. Rebecca has experience helping people cope with divorce, blended family issues, aging and geriatric worries, fertility and body-image concerns, and the effects of medical issues like cancer.
In sessions she emphasizes motivation and readiness for change. She uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing strategies when people want short-term, goal-oriented work. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas when exploring patterns that affect current relationships and behavior.
Rebecca helps people talk through communication problems, commitment doubts, and work-related stress. She also supports those facing addiction, eating-related concerns, or grief. Practical steps, reflection, and a clear plan for next sessions are typical parts of her approach.
How sessions work
How Rebecca uses specific approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a therapist who will follow their lead, clarify concerns, and prioritize the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build clearer emotional communication; it can be useful for intimacy-related stress and relationship pain.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss these methods with each person and help decide which fits the problem, goals, and preferences. She often combines techniques so sessions can be practical and reflective depending on what the client wants.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the schedule. Talk with Rebecca about timing and session length so therapy can be arranged to suit everyday routines.
