About Reba
Reba Parla is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Maine with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and attention challenges. Her practice also addresses concerns such as codependency, communication problems, midlife transitions, and mood shifts like seasonal affective disorder.
She highlights what has worked for each person in the past and builds on those strengths. Sessions are interactive and include check-ins to make sure the work feels useful. Practical tools are part of sessions, including breathing exercises and affirmations clients can use between meetings.
Reba draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and a strengths-based approach. CBT helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. A strengths-based focus looks for skills and successes a person already has and uses them to move forward.
Her style is hands-on and focused on skills people can practice. That often means trying short exercises in session and setting small, concrete goals afterward. Many people come for help with setting boundaries, managing worry or anger, and restoring a sense of self after living around another person’s moods or crises.
She works in English and practices in Maine. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the platform.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Reba uses cognitive behavioral techniques and a strengths-based approach in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce worry, low mood, and impulsive reactions. The strengths-based approach looks for abilities and past successes a person already has and applies those skills to current problems.Choosing an approach happens together. She checks in about goals and preferences and adjusts methods based on what is working. That means trying exercises, reviewing how they felt, and shifting direction if needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try techniques in their ordinary settings. Licensed professionals can guide pacing and homework between meetings so skills learned in session transfer into daily life.
