About Rebecca
Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health. She has spent two decades helping adults manage depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life changes. Rebecca lists blended family issues among her focus areas and works with people facing caregiving strain, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
Rebecca uses direct conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and then offers steps that people can try between meetings. She draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses.
Her work also includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people sort through relationship hurts and find personal motivation for change. Rebecca pays attention to stress, sleep problems, and coping skills so daily life feels more manageable. She also supports people dealing with grief, fertility issues, cancer, and aging-related concerns.
People who come to Rebecca can expect a collaborative tone and straightforward tools. Sessions often focus on clear goals, short-term experiments, and reviewing what works. She encourages practical adjustments that can reduce conflict in blended households and ease the burden on parents and caregivers.
Rebecca accepts clients who speak English and works with people across different locations. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session so she can match the approach to what the person needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and builds on their strengths through reflective listening and open questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a single choice up front. Rebecca will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day situation. That collaborative decision can shift as issues change over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is impractical, and avoid travel time. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or use a lower-bandwidth option if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and emotionally-focused conversations to an online setting to keep momentum between meetings.
