About Reba

Reba Pendleton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She creates a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk, be heard, and start making small changes that matter. Reba meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps toward feeling steadier day to day.

With 11 years of experience, Reba adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. She uses straightforward methods so sessions stay focused and useful. Topics often include managing strong emotions, coping with loss, and rebuilding routines after difficult events.

Her approach centers on listening first and then working together on goals. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the process collaborative and on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Solution-focused and narrative techniques help people identify strengths and rewrite stressful stories into more manageable ones.

Reba values sensitivity and practical problem solving. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on what is actually working. Her guidance is aimed at helping people feel clearer about next steps and more able to handle everyday challenges.

Sessions are offered from Kentucky and are conducted in English. The therapist uses an enrollment process that asks a few questions to match needs before scheduling, so people can begin with a short intake and move at their own pace.

How Reba’s approaches translate to online work

Reba uses client-centered methods to make sessions about your priorities, focusing on listening and shaping goals around what matters to you. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps the work practical rather than abstract.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches straightforward tools people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
