About Rebecca

Rebecca Boardman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who helps people manage strong emotions and overwhelming stress. She approaches clients with respect and direct support. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and improve daily life.

Rebecca draws on 14 years of experience in clinical social work. She uses straightforward, interactive sessions that center on the person's goals. Conversations often include skill-building exercises, behavior changes, and short-term plans to handle immediate problems.

Background and approach

Her work includes support for anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, and sleep or eating concerns. She also helps people facing career changes, grief, relationship strains, and life transitions. Rebecca is experienced with ADHD, bipolar conditions, chronic illness, caregiving stress, attachment issues, and concerns related to identity and intimacy.

Sessions combine elements from cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered care. Activities and homework are chosen to match each person's situation and goals. Rebecca aims to be clear and practical while remaining empathetic.

Rebecca holds a Master of Social Work from West Virginia University and is licensed as an LISW in Ohio and a LICSW in West Virginia. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexible options for getting support. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person with scheduling options.

Rebecca works collaboratively to set priorities and plan steps forward.

Approaches Rebecca lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many daily struggles because it focuses on practical steps and small behavior changes.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are helpful when emotions feel intense or when coping with urges and conflict. Attachment-based ideas are also used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns and to build healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Sessions are collaborative, with room to adjust methods as progress and needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into their daily life.
