About Rebecca
Rebecca Boardman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 14 years of experience. She practices in West Virginia and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, depression, relationship and family matters, and issues that arise in blended households.
She uses direct, interactive sessions that center the client's experience. Rebecca draws on cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior strategies to help people manage thoughts, behaviors, and intense emotions. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Rebecca trained at West Virginia University, earning a Master of Social Work. Her background includes work with addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and a broad range of life changes. She notes experience across many concerns people bring to therapy and applies practical techniques during sessions.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and concrete skills. That can mean practicing coping strategies, rehearsing different ways to communicate, or testing small behavioral changes between meetings. The work is collaborative and often structured around measurable steps toward whatever the client wants to change.
People in stepfamilies or blended households often bring concerns about loyalty, routines, co-parenting with an ex, and role changes. Rebecca helps individuals talk through those dynamics, manage stress, and build clearer boundaries and routines that fit their lives.
To begin, clients choose an online sign-up option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
How Rebecca uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It often focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to behavior changes that reflect personal priorities, which can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and many everyday challenges.
Attachment-Based ideas guide attention to how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions. That can help people in blended households recognize recurring dynamics and try different ways of relating to partners and children as individuals.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the issue at hand, and adjust methods as the work progresses. The plan is made together rather than assumed up front.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online options can make scheduling easier, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. For some people a session without video is easier to fit into a work break, while others prefer a full-length video meeting for deeper discussion; Rebecca will discuss what works best for the client's routine and needs.
