It takes a great deal of courage to reach out for help when struggling emotionally, physically, and or behaviorally. Let me introduce myself. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), who has been working as a therapist, with a variety of clients, for the last 15 years. It is important to me that everyone be treated with respect and dignity no matter what they are dealing with in their life. I achieved a Masters Degree in Social Work at West Virginia University and have completed 70 hours towards Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certification.
As a therapist it is my goal to provide compassion, understanding, and support without discrimination, stigmatization, and or judgement. I have worked effectively with clients who are dealing with Addiction, ADHD, Anxiety, Anger, Bipolar, Career Challenges, Depression, Domestic Violence, Medical Issues/Diagnoses, Parenting Problems, PTSD, Stress, Trauma, and Weight Loss. Your struggle is real no matter how difficult or what others may think is not important.
My therapy style is interactive and client centered. My therapeutic approach consists of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), Impact, Gestalt, and Solution Focused along with therapeutic techniques and activities, based on individual needs, to help you to achieve your goals. I am straightforward but also empathetic to the needs of my clients.
If you are ready and able to commit to taking the first step, we can work together to help you to achieve a happier and more fulfilling life through a commitment towards change. I am here to support and empower you throughout the process. I’m excited and looking forward to be working with you!

I was unsure about therapy, nervous and decided that BetterHelp was a great way to ease into it and I could stop anytime I wanted. Rebecca was so warming and welcoming that all that disappeared and I look forward to our weekly sessions. Her knowledge and experience have helped me through this process and working through the things that have needed unpacked for years. I would highly recommend Rebecca, especially if you’re dealing with either drug addiction or being the parent of someone in addiction. 10 out of 10 she’s your gal.

Rebecca was so kind and empathetic as she guided me through strategies to cope with the loss of my mom. I appreciate how she listened, supported me, and provided strategies to apply when anxiety overcomes me. Even though at first, I delayed actually writing a letter to my mom, once I started the grief (still there) but it became easier to breath. Thank you for making me try this because it has helped tremendously and given me tools to return to.

Written on Feb 01, 2023 after therapy with Rebecca for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Miss Boardman is a fantastic therapist, and helped me recognize not only the issues in my headspace, but life in general. She has helped put me on a path of success whereas before doing sessions with her, I felt like I was going in a literal circle with no progress.
Additionally, I feel like I'm actually worth something to myself and the community and that is a feeling I haven't really had for a good while up until these therapy sessions.
Slightly off-topic but I feel like my spirituality has also improved, being able to talk to Miss Boardman and hear insight and discussion about God that is outside of my usual "small town church" setting was incredibly refreshing and (at least I think!) remarkably good for my soul.
10/10 would absolutely recommend Rebecca Boardman!

Very pleasant to speak with on all issues. I am going through divorce with a difficult NPD woman and have just come out this year as bisexual which has caused a lot of issues with family and friends. Rebecca has been very pleasant and supportive and open to my discussing my bisexuality, something that is core to my personality. I had other therapist become uncomfortable with the topic but she is very understanding and makes me comfortable to discuss. Highly recommend, especially if dealing with personal relationships and LGBTQ matters.
