About Rebecca
Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She works primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents or caregivers. Her approach is straightforward and direct, and she aims to build honest, respectful relationships with people who come for help.
Rebecca focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, and challenges with relationships and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes, caregiver burnout, and compassion fatigue. She has experience offering care to people with autism, intellectual disability, and disruptive mood concerns.
She describes her style as person-centered and trauma-informed. She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. She also integrates Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal motivation for change.
Rebecca has worked with children as young as four and with adults through later life, and she can adapt interventions for different developmental needs. She also brings background as a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist alongside her clinical licensure.
In sessions she collaborates with clients to set clear goals and decides together which tools to use. Her aim is to make therapy manageable and relevant so progress fits into everyday life. She welcomes questions and will work with people to find practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rebecca combines Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make changes that matter to them. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building their confidence to act. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are so goals come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical strategies to shift them.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.
The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can work during a lunch break, or a phone call can be chosen when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time and create more consistent access to support, while still allowing hands-on practice of CBT and DBT skills and collaborative motivational work. -
