About Rebecca
Rebecca Poladian is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with more than 20 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults around issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting stress, career concerns, and trauma. Rebecca emphasizes partnership and supports people who are ready to make changes in their lives.
Rebecca uses a flexible, person-focused way of working. She does not rely on one set method. Instead she listens, helps people name what matters most, and offers practical steps to try between sessions. That might include new ways to communicate, small behavior changes, or thought exercises that reduce worry.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults across many life stages. She has supported people through grief, addiction challenges, coping with life changes, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Rebecca also helps people who are managing the emotional effects of illness, caregiving, aging, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Rebecca draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. Those include client-centered methods that follow the person’s pace, cognitive-behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotionally-focused work to improve connection, and motivational strategies to build readiness for change.
She aims for clear, practical sessions where people leave with one or two steps to try. Rebecca invites people who want steady, collaborative support during difficult transitions and ongoing stress to begin a conversation.
How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca often uses client-centered work that follows a person’s pace and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely, mirrors concerns back, and helps clients set goals that feel manageable; it suits people who want a steady, supportive relationship.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT gives clear tools and short exercises that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss what feels most useful during early sessions and adapt methods based on someone’s goals, preferences, and what’s been helpful so far. Decisions about pace and techniques are collaborative rather than prescribed.
