About Reba
Reba Pendleton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and major life changes. Her style is warm and respectful and she aims to meet people where they are.
She brings 11 years of experience working with these concerns. Reba focuses on a conversational, client-centered way of working. That means sessions start with the person’s goals and move at a pace they can handle.
Background and approach
Reba draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can improve mood and daily routines. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and narrative therapy to help people make sense of difficult stories. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change.
In sessions she adapts the approach to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. She listens for strengths and practical next steps, then checks in about what is and isn’t working. This keeps therapy focused and grounded in everyday life.
Reba is licensed in Kentucky as an LCSW. She offers sessions in English and provides online options to fit different schedules. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady, compassionate support as people work toward clearer coping and better functioning.
Approaches and how online therapy fits
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and listening closely to what matters most. It helps people feel understood and guides the session around their goals rather than a fixed plan.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety going. It uses focused, practical exercises to try small changes in thinking and routine that can reduce symptoms over time.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on short-term goals and concrete steps forward. It is useful when someone wants clear, manageable progress and prefers action-oriented sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining listening-focused client-centered work with CBT exercises or brief solution-focused tasks.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep moving toward goals.
