About Rebecca
Rebecca Boardman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related challenges. Sessions address practical problems like sleeping, eating, and coping with life changes as well as longer-term issues such as attachment and grief.
Rebecca uses clear, direct conversation and active problem solving. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior work and client-centered listening to support steady progress. That means sessions often include concrete skills practice and straightforward feedback.
Her experience includes helping people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, caregiver stress, chronic health concerns, and challenges connected to adoption, abandonment, or blended family situations. Rebecca has worked with people facing commitment and communication problems, body image and eating struggles, and substance use concerns.
She earned a Master of Social Work from West Virginia University and has completed 70 hours toward Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy certification. Her practice style is interactive and practical; she aims to set clear goals and use techniques that fit each person’s needs.
People who choose her often want direct guidance, skill-building, and a therapist who names patterns plainly. To begin, she asks clients to identify the most immediate problems and then focuses on small, achievable steps toward change.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at what matters most to the client and pairs that with practical steps to act on values. It helps when stress, anxiety, or recurring patterns are getting in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for building new daily habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy, relationship worries, and attachment-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose which ideas and skills fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice and real-life homework you can try between meetings to build progress.
