Rebecca BurdaLCSW

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps you can take when life feels overwhelming.

Rebecca has worked with people across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, young adults, and parents or caregivers. Her background includes helping with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, autism, and support for people with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities. She is also a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist in addition to her clinical license.

Her style is direct and honest. She aims to be open and person-centered in sessions. Rebecca uses approaches that focus on the client’s goals and strengths rather than one fixed method.

Rebecca often combines skills-based methods with trauma-focused work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on the need. Sessions are shaped around what a person hopes to change and how they prefer to work.

She also brings experience supporting parents and caregivers through stress and parenting challenges. Rebecca encourages clear goal-setting and practical strategies so progress is visible between sessions. If you are feeling stuck, she will work with you to create manageable next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what the client wants to work on. It’s about setting goals together and adjusting the pace so people feel heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practices new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear skills to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and techniques as progress is made so treatment stays practical and relevant.

For online work, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because they are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use written worksheets, screen sharing, and real-time skill practice during sessions to help carry learning into daily life.
