    About Reba

    Reba Pendleton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can start to feel more hopeful. Her style centers on listening and tailoring conversations to each person's needs.

    She draws on practical, goal-focused work together. Reba uses Motivational Interviewing to support change by helping people find their own reasons to move forward. She also uses client-centered approaches to prioritize each person’s perspective and pace.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused methods are parts of her toolkit when someone wants clear strategies for symptoms and short-term goals. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe their stories and understand how past events shape present choices.

    Reba keeps plans flexible so sessions fit what someone needs week to week. She talks through options, sets small steps, and adjusts the plan based on progress. People can expect straightforward language and concrete suggestions rather than technical jargon.

    Licensed in Kentucky with 11 years of experience, she emphasizes compassion and respect in every session. The first appointment focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and agreeing on a practical way forward.

  2. How Reba’s Approaches Work Online

    Reba commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people identify their reasons for change and build small, practical steps forward. This approach focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and strengthening motivation rather than telling someone what to do. Client-centered therapy is also a key part of her work and means sessions follow the person’s pace and priorities while emphasizing empathy and respect.

    She may combine these with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when someone wants concrete strategies to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. CBT includes looking at thoughts and behaviors and trying different actions to see what helps. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative; the therapist will work with the person to figure out what feels most useful and adjust the plan over time.

    If you are considering online options, confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use conversational and skills-based methods effectively through remote sessions, and Reba will help decide which approach and scheduling style best suit each person’s goals.
