About Rebecca

Rebecca Poladian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience in mental health. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strains, parenting concerns and other life changes.

Rebecca has worked with adults across a wide age range and has provided care around trauma and related concerns. She also addresses issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes supporting people through career transitions, divorce and blended family challenges.

Her practice uses conversational, straightforward work in sessions. She listens for patterns and emotional themes, then uses that information to guide the next steps. Rebecca draws on approaches like Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions.

Sessions tend to focus on naming feelings, spotting repeated patterns, and trying different ways of responding. Practical skills may be practiced in session and assigned as small steps between meetings. She pays attention to how life events, relationships and stress affect mood and behavior.

People who want a collaborative therapist may find her style helpful. Rebecca encourages clients to take an active role in setting goals and choosing the methods that fit their needs. To begin, the site’s intake steps are used to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Rebecca commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name difficult emotions and the interaction patterns that keep problems alive. EFT is often used when emotions and attachment patterns affect how people relate to themselves and others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities, offering a respectful, listening-based way to shape sessions around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact and provides practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with clients to notice what feels useful and adjusts methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss how EFT, client-centered work or CBT might fit and test approaches together in early sessions.

The biography does not list specific session delivery formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and emotional work to remote sessions so appointments can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
