About Rebecca

Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strains, and trauma. Rebecca also supports those managing career challenges, addiction, grief, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.

Rebecca takes a straightforward, partnership-based approach in sessions. She treats clients as collaborators who bring important knowledge about their lives. Conversations focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building skills that help with daily demands.

Her work often blends talking about emotions with techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses methods that include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are used to address symptoms, improve relationships, and clarify personal goals.

Rebecca has experience across age groups and a broad range of life challenges, including caregiving stress, blended family issues, body image and fertility concerns, cancer-related stress, and substance-related problems. She also addresses communication problems, commitment questions, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to what a person can manage. Rebecca helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Rebecca’s approaches are used in online work

Rebecca often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to help them understand their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want a respectful, collaborative conversation about what matters to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces concrete exercises to test thinking and change patterns. That can help with anxiety, sleeping issues, and low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) appears in her work when relationships and attachment issues are central; EFT helps people notice emotional responses and try new ways of interacting that reduce conflict and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will help identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan collaboratively as progress is made.
