About Rebecca

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience supporting people across the lifespan. Her work has focused largely on children, adolescents, young adults, and parents or caregivers, and she brings experience addressing depression, anxiety, PTSD, Autism, ADHD, and related challenges.

Background and approach

Rebecca has also worked with individuals who have mild to moderate cognitive disabilities alongside mental health needs. Her style emphasizes authenticity and a person-centered, trauma-informed stance.

She offers evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and motivational approaches, tailoring methods to each person’s goals. Rebecca aims to collaborate with clients to clarify priorities and develop practical strategies for change.

Rebecca frames help-seeking as a courageous step and aims to create a straightforward, respectful therapy experience for those she sees. Her background in parent peer support and broad clinical exposure informs a flexible approach that adapts to diverse needs while focusing on skills, coping, and meaningful progress.

How Rebecca Uses Structured Approaches in Online Care

Rebecca often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for managing mood and anxiety; this approach focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for issues like depression, panic, and stress. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. When trauma memories are a central concern, EMDR may be used as a targeted approach to process distressing experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques from these methods to match what feels most useful. She combines structured skill-building with a person-centered, trauma-informed stance so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home, during travel, or between busy commitments while still allowing for focused, evidence-informed work with a licensed professional.
