Rebecca Burda , LCSW

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. She practices in Wisconsin and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. She is direct and open in session, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.

Rebecca often sees parents and caregivers who need practical support and guidance. She also helps children, adolescents, and young adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Sessions tend to focus on manageable steps, skills practice, and clear goals tailored to each person.

Her background includes work with a variety of diagnoses such as depression, PTSD, ADHD, autism, and mood disorders. She has also supported people with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities alongside mental health needs. That experience shapes a flexible approach that meets people where they are.

In session she combines a person-centered stance with trauma-aware care. She uses evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to address symptoms and patterns. Treatment plans are built around the goals a person brings to therapy.

Rebecca aims for honest, practical collaboration. She helps clients set small, achievable steps and practices skills between sessions. The hope is steady progress toward clearer thinking, improved coping, and stronger day-to-day routines.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Rebecca uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's goals so sessions feel relevant and practical.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior and is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are another tool in her work. DBT provides concrete strategies for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication when relationships feel strained.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try techniques, and adjust plans to fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That way the plan evolves based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier when being on camera feels hard. Live chat and text sessions allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
