About Rebecca
Rebecca Boardman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker in West Virginia with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and difficulties tied to attention challenges and mood conditions. Rebecca also lists experience with issues such as attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems.
Her approach is practical and interactive. She uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. Rebecca aims for direct, understandable work that helps people spot patterns and try small changes between meetings.
In sessions she focuses on what is getting in the way now - for example, recurring roles learned in childhood, difficulty managing emotions, or patterns in relationships. She talks through coping skills, behavior changes, and values-based choices so clients can test new ways of relating and responding. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative.
Rebecca’s background includes a Master of Social Work from West Virginia University. Her licenses are LISW in Ohio and LICSW in West Virginia. She conducts work in English and lists a broad set of concerns she addresses, including trauma-related and attachment issues.
People considering therapy with Rebecca are encouraged to review session options and follow the site’s process to select a match. The focus is on steady, practical steps to reduce distress and change recurring patterns that trace back to family of origin dynamics.
How Rebecca uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and problems that feel stuck because of avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for building practical coping strategies.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect present-day connections and emotions. This approach can help people recognize repeating roles from their family of origin and try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will help clients choose which methods to use together, based on current concerns, goals, and how someone prefers to work. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or health appointments, and they can allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better fits a day. Licensed professionals commonly use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life without requiring long travel.
