About Reba
Reba Parla is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She uses short, practical exercises and direct conversation to help people feel steadier day to day. Reba aims to create a warm, welcoming space where small steps add up to real change.
She highlights each person's past successes to build confidence for tackling current problems. Sessions include breathing exercises, simple affirmations, and interactive check-ins to make sure each visit meets the person's needs.
Background and approach
That hands-on style keeps sessions focused and actionable. Reba often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and a strengths-based perspective to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different habits. She frames these tools in plain language and practices them together during sessions so people can use them later on their own.
Her background includes five years of clinical experience working with mood concerns and behavioral difficulties. She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, hoarding, communication problems, codependency, and the emotional effects of aging. These topics commonly come up alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Reba provides services from Maine and conducts sessions in English. She offers multiple online formats so people can choose the option that fits their schedule and daily life.

Evidence-informed approaches and online access
Reba often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. That approach focuses on practical steps you can take between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change habits.She also uses a strengths-based approach that highlights past successes and existing skills. This helps people build confidence and apply familiar strengths when facing new challenges like low mood or impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Reba talks with each person about goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as needed. She checks in regularly so the plan stays useful and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face feedback and practicing exercises together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, get brief coaching, or keep a steady dialogue between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
