Rebecca Poladian is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania (LPC) with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with people across the lifespan, supporting clients from childhood through older adulthood with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting issues, career transitions, and trauma. Over the years she has assisted both younger and older adults in processing traumatic experiences and navigating significant life changes.

Rebecca views therapy as a collaborative partnership. She affirms that individuals are capable of moving toward greater wellbeing and that effective care must be tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Taking a holistic perspective, she attends to a person’s motivation and readiness for change as important forces that can foster positive outcomes. With energy and encouragement, she aims to support and empower clients as they work toward a more satisfying and balanced life and to help them build practical strategies for lasting progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca draws on several established approaches to guide online work in ways that fit each client’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and experiences, creating a supportive space where a therapist listens carefully and helps the person build self-understanding and confidence; this approach is often helpful for self-esteem concerns and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT tends to be goal-oriented and useful when clients want tools to change thinking and behavior.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns, making it a strong option for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and improving emotional connection. Rebecca uses these methods flexibly, adapting them to each person’s circumstances.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is treated as a collaborative effort. Rebecca works with clients to determine which combination of strategies aligns with their goals, preferences, and readiness for change. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to receive care from licensed professionals around their schedules and life demands while maintaining continuity of treatment.
