Rebecca Burda , LCSW

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience supporting people across the lifespan. She primarily works with children and adolescents, young adults, and parents or caregivers, offering care to clients aged about 4 to 60 and older. In addition to her clinical licensure, she is a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist - a role that combines professional training with lived experience to provide peer-based guidance for parents.

Rebecca has worked with a wide range of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, autism, and ADHD, and she has experience supporting individuals with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities alongside their mental health needs. Her practice emphasizes being radically genuine and open, grounded in person-centered and trauma-informed principles. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients pursue meaningful change.

Rebecca collaborates with each person to clarify goals and tailor interventions to meet those objectives. She understands that reaching out for support takes courage and approaches her work with empathy and practical focus for families and individuals seeking healthier ways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca integrates client-centered therapy by creating a supportive space where the individual’s perspective guides the work - this approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and helping them set personally meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that can help process past distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around daily responsibilities, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and receive support in formats that suit different comfort levels and communication styles.
