About Rebecca

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience working across the lifespan. She brings a person-centered, trauma-informed stance and emphasizes genuine, open connection while tailoring evidence-based strategies to each person's goals.

Background and approach

Rebecca has clinical experience with depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, autism, and clients with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities, and she integrates interventions to address emotional regulation, coping with life changes, and stress-related concerns.

Her practice includes work with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents or caregivers, and she draws on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to guide treatment. Rebecca prioritizes collaboration, helping clients identify measurable goals and adapting methods to fit individual needs and preferences.

She frames seeking support as a meaningful act of strength and invites prospective clients to begin a shared process of growth and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with person-centered and mindfulness-oriented elements. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to relieve symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns. EMDR uses structured processing to help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and is often applied when trauma or abuse history is present.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, explore what methods feel most helpful, and adjust techniques over time so treatment aligns with individual needs and preferences rather than following a single predetermined plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not possible. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver the same evidence-informed interventions while accommodating different communication styles and life circumstances, supporting consistent access to ongoing therapeutic work.
