Rebecca Burda, LCSW

Rebecca Burda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work with clients ages 4 through 60 and older. She centers her practice on children, adolescents, young adults, and parents or caregivers, offering support for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, ADHD, and related challenges. Rebecca also has experience working with individuals who have mild to moderate cognitive disabilities alongside mental health diagnoses.

In addition to her LCSW licensure, Rebecca is a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist, a credential that reflects focused training to support parents and caregivers. Her therapeutic stance is person-centered and trauma-informed, grounded in openness and genuine connection. She draws from evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Rebecca collaborates with clients to clarify goals and build a treatment plan that fits their priorities and circumstances. She emphasizes practical skills and compassionate guidance to help individuals and families navigate stress, relationship difficulties, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. Rebecca welcomes the courage it takes to seek support and looks forward to working with clients toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s values and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and can be especially helpful for building trust, exploring identity, and clarifying what change would look like for each person.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical coping skills.

For trauma-related symptoms and distress that do not respond to talk-based strategies alone, Rebecca offers EMDR, a structured approach that can help process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to create continuity of care from different locations. These options make it easier to access consistent support while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor interventions to individual circumstances.
