Reba Pendleton, LCSW

Reba Pendleton is a licensed clinical social worker who offers calm, patient support for people facing stress and anxiety. She writes short, direct plans and listens closely to what matters to each person. Reba aims to make first steps feel manageable and steady. She has 11 years of professional experience and works from a posture of respect and compassion. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle grief or depression. Reba adapts conversations and the plan to the individual's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her approach mixes straightforward problem-solving with attention to personal story. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and working through past events that still cause pain. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work practical and goal oriented. Reba helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse by moving at a pace that feels safe for them. She supports people through life changes by breaking challenges into small, doable steps. The focus is on building skills that make daily life easier, not on quick fixes. She practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. Reba asks people to complete a short questionnaire to begin, and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Reba’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people clarify what matters and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical tools to notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Reba will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or priorities change. For online work, confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, since it can reduce travel time and allow sessions during breaks or between commitments. Online sessions also make it simpler to use worksheets, screen-share exercises, or follow-up materials between meetings. If certain session styles matter to you, check available formats so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
