Rebecca Poladian , LPC

Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Rebecca also supports concerns related to relationships, intimacy, addiction, grief, and self-esteem. She works with individuals facing parenting challenges, career struggles, ADHD, and issues that often affect women.

Rebecca treats each person as a partner in therapy. She listens first, then adapts her approach to what a person needs and is ready to change. She draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel collaborative and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns that worsen mood and stress.

In sessions she also uses emotionally-focused ideas to address relationship and intimacy concerns, plus motivational interviewing to boost commitment to change. Her psychodynamic perspective can help people see how past experiences influence current patterns. Rebecca mixes these methods to suit the goals a person brings to therapy.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about painful topics and practical steps for moving forward. Sessions can include skill-building, problem-solving, emotion work, and goal-setting depending on the situation.

Rebecca accepts clients from Pennsylvania and also works with international clients in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

How Rebecca's Approaches Work Online

Rebecca often uses client-centered therapy to build collaboration and trust; this approach focuses on listening and tailoring the work to what a person wants to change. It is useful for stress, self-esteem, and general life transitions.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active. CBT provides concrete skills people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then recommend a mix of methods. The plan can change as progress is made and new issues arise.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter and for fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text works well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a written exchange fits someone’s schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines.
