Rebecca Poladian, LPC

Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years in mental health. She greets new clients with warmth and a straightforward belief that people can find better balance and wellbeing. Rebecca meets people where they are and treats therapy as a partnership rather than a lecture.

Her practice centers on practical conversation and steady emotional support. Rebecca helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns, addictions, grief, sleep troubles, self-esteem, and issues related to intimacy and parenting.

Rebecca uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to work on feelings and readiness for change.

Her background includes two decades of work in clinical settings where she supported adults through trauma, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, and blended family challenges. Rebecca aims for simple, achievable steps rather than big, abstract promises. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's unique pace.

To begin, she asks people to consider what matters most to them and what small change could make life easier. Rebecca encourages straightforward conversation about goals and what a useful next step would look like. She welcomes questions and helps people figure out how therapy could fit into their daily life.

Approaches that shape online work

Rebecca often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities to build trust. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. It can also help people access licensed professionals from other locations. Rebecca will discuss which ways of meeting make the most sense for someone’s schedule and needs.
