Rebecca Burda, LCSW

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of clinical experience. She works with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents and caregivers. Rebecca uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, and parenting challenges.

She brings a straightforward and open style to sessions. Rebecca aims to be genuine and down-to-earth while helping people set realistic goals. She listens for what matters most and then shares concrete strategies to try between meetings.

Rebecca often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing can be included when trauma memories are a focus.

Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, autism, and mood disorders. She has experience supporting people facing caregiver stress, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and life changes that affect daily functioning.

Sessions are collaborative and goal directed. Rebecca helps clients track progress and adjust plans as needed. Her approach balances practical skill building with attention to personal values and meaningful change.

Practical approaches and online care options

Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily life problems because it focuses on small, measurable steps.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication techniques. DBT tools can help when emotions feel intense or when impulsivity causes problems. Client-centered work is part of her approach too, which means the client's goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or scheduling when a longer session is not possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
