About Reba
Reba Parla is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with five years of practice experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Sessions are practical and focused on what works in day-to-day life.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and a strengths-based outlook. She points out past successes to show how current problems can be managed. Sessions include breathing and affirmation exercises and brief skills practice that people can use between meetings.
Reba takes an interactive approach. She checks in regularly during sessions to make sure a person’s needs are being met. Conversations are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented rather than lecture-style.
She also addresses related concerns such as mood disorders, midlife transitions, seasonal affective disorder, and issues connected to family or communication. Other focus areas include hoarding, codependency, commitment and impulsivity challenges, and aging or geriatric matters.
Clients who have intellectual disabilities or avoidant personality concerns are also within her stated focus areas. Language of work is English and Reba does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.
BHow sessions work
How cognitive methods and skills work online
Reba uses cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and practical behaviors. This approach breaks concerns into manageable steps and teaches coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties. She also draws on a strengths-based perspective that highlights what has worked for a person before. That approach involves identifying existing skills and past successes, then building on them with small, repeated practices like breathing exercises and affirmations. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and decide together which techniques to emphasize. That collaborative process helps match the methods to everyday needs and schedules. Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for focused problem-solving.CAreas of focus
