About Rebecca
Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and relationship communication problems.
Rebecca uses a direct but validating style in sessions. She invites self-reflection and sometimes uses humor to break tense moments. Her background includes work in community mental health settings, where she used both individual and group approaches to support people through life changes.
In practical terms, sessions focus on identifying what is keeping someone stuck and finding steps to move forward. Conversations look at patterns, coping skills, and decisions that matter day to day. Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape those conversations and to practice new ways of responding to stress and difficult emotions.
She is familiar with interventions that fit problems like low motivation, codependency, commitment issues, and dissociation. Rebecca also addresses issues connected to aging, blended family dynamics, and co-occurring conditions when they affect daily functioning. Her approach aims to be flexible and values-based, helping people clarify what matters most.
Rebecca provides care in English and practices in Wisconsin. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling to make sure they fit personal needs.
Therapeutic techniques and how they translate to online work
Rebecca often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and to practice different responses to stress and low mood. CBT is practical and skill-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors.She also uses elements of Motivational Interviewing to help with ambivalence and change, especially around addictions or low motivation. This approach focuses on the client's own reasons for change and builds small steps toward those goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adapt her style as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and when to adjust.
Session formats were described in the original biography as live chat, video, phone, and messaging. Please confirm current session options before booking so they match your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can also use messaging between sessions for brief updates or to keep momentum between live meetings.
