About Rebecca
Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health. She meets people where they are and helps them find practical steps toward feeling better. Her background covers common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD as well as relationship and parenting concerns.
Rebecca treats each person as an equal partner in the work. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and adapts sessions to what a person needs right now.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and skills that can be used between appointments. Her career includes work with people facing trauma, grief, addictions, and major life changes. She also supports clients navigating issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, and career stress.
Rebecca brings a broad perspective developed over two decades in clinical settings. In therapy she uses approachable talk, practical techniques, and reflection to help people notice patterns and try different strategies. Methods include conversational tools to build motivation, ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and attention to emotional experiences in relationships.
Sessions are paced to match readiness for change. Rebecca offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and works with English-speaking clients including those outside the United States. To start, she guides newcomers through a short matching questionnaire and helps schedule the first session.
How Rebecca Uses Talk and Skills Online
Rebecca blends client-centered listening with practical techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building confidence and clarifying values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to name and work with strong feelings in relationships. That approach helps people understand emotional responses and try new ways of connecting or responding in close relationships. Together these methods offer both short-term tools and deeper emotional work depending on the concern.
Rebecca treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working with nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people write through issues between appointments or check in on the go. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
