About Rebecca
Rebecca Boardman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 14 years of experience who aims to make reaching out feel manageable. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her approach focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety and find practical ways to handle everyday struggles.
Rebecca uses a mix of therapy styles to match what a person needs. She often draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning, and she uses acceptance and commitment strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are also part of her work for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She has worked with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, career stress, and chronic illness.
Rebecca pays attention to attachment-related struggles and to life transitions that leave people feeling stuck. Rebecca holds LISW and LICSW credentials and practices in West Virginia. She emphasizes respect and dignity, and she aims to be straightforward while remaining empathetic.
Sessions are shaped around a person's goals, with practical techniques and activities used as needed. Her style is collaborative: she helps people commit to steps they can manage and adjusts the work as progress happens. She encourages realistic plans and steady effort rather than quick fixes.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Existential therapy helps people look at what gives their life meaning and how they want to live moving forward; this can be useful for big transitions, grief, or feeling stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while choosing values-based action, which helps with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and communication, useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and exercises over time so the therapy matches progress and changing needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, reflection between sessions, or help fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These formats offer flexibility to keep therapy consistent alongside work, school, caregiving, or health demands.
