About Rebecca
Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. She works with people across a wide age range and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and parenting concerns. Rebecca writes plainly and meets people where they are.
She draws on client-centered care and trauma-informed thinking. That means she listens first, then helps set goals together. Rebecca uses cognitive behavioral tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills for managing strong emotions.
Background and approach
Rebecca also offers EMDR techniques when past events keep coming back. Mindfulness practices are used to help calm the body and steady attention. She adapts interventions to the person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
Her background includes work with people who have ADHD, autism, and mood disorders, and with those navigating adoption and caregiver stress. She has experience supporting those who face impulsivity, isolation, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca has worked with people who have mild to moderate intellectual disabilities alongside other mental health concerns.
Sessions are offered from Wisconsin and are conducted in English. International clients are accepted, and Rebecca provides several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences. She asks people what they want to change, then helps create a plan that moves toward those goals.
How her approaches translate to online care
Rebecca uses client-centered work to guide sessions online. That means conversations start with the client’s concerns and priorities, and treatment plans are shaped around their goals. This approach helps when someone needs a practical, goal-focused path forward. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, panic, and depression and can be done in short, structured online sessions with homework between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught to help with intense emotions and impulsivity; those skills can be practiced during video or phone sessions and then applied in daily life. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to accomplish and try different techniques until they find a good fit. Clients help shape goals and the pace of work. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, skill practice, or check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and stay connected from different locations.Questions people ask
