Rebecca Burda, LCSW

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience in clinical practice in Wisconsin. She works with individuals across a wide age range and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, ADHD, relationships, family issues, anger, and self-esteem. Rebecca also addresses caregiver strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and mood disorders.

She commonly meets people who are juggling parenting, complex home dynamics, or recent life changes. Rebecca uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person and then sets practical goals. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices to guide sessions.

Her style is direct and focused on building clear steps that a person can try between visits. Sessions may include skill practice, behavior experiments, processing past trauma, or problem-solving around family routines and role shifts. Rebecca has worked with people who have intellectual disability and with diagnoses such as PTSD, autism, ADHD, and mood disorders.

Parents, caregivers, and adults in blended households may find her practical focus helpful when managing co-parenting arrangements, loyalty conflicts, or shifting routines after a new partnership. She also supports caregivers facing compassion fatigue and burnout.

To begin, Rebecca helps clients name one or two immediate goals and then crafts a plan that fits their everyday life. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and clear, manageable steps rather than abstract talk.
