About Rebecca
Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years in mental health care. She draws on long experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She greets each person with practical support and calm focus.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and individuals facing everyday pressures. Rebecca treats concerns like parenting struggles, sleeping problems, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also addresses self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her background includes work with adults across the lifespan, including aging and geriatric concerns and caregiver stress. Her approach is not one-size-fits-all.
She uses client-centered methods to listen and build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) are among the tools she chooses when they fit a person's needs. She also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when useful.
Sessions focus on clear steps and real-life changes. Rebecca helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and strengthen important relationships. She also supports practical coping for trauma, grief, and medical-related stress like cancer or fertility challenges.
Rebecca communicates in English and can work with international clients. She offers several remote session formats to fit busy schedules. To begin, clients follow a short matching process and schedule a time that fits them.
Approaches that guide online work and family support
Rebecca often draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people set their own goals. This approach focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and building goals together to address parenting and life stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, sleep issues, low mood, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete skills and small experiments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time. That partnership helps decide whether client-centered support, CBT, or another method is the best path forward.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to attend from home, manage childcare or work demands, and keep continuity during busy periods. Many people find remote formats helpful for staying consistent and applying skills between meetings.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
