About Rebecca
Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

She uses clear, direct conversation and occasional light humor to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions mix practical skills and straightforward feedback. Rebecca draws on methods that focus on thinking, behavior, and motivation to move toward manageable changes.
Her background includes years in community mental health settings where she led both individual and group work. That range means she’s used to helping people with a variety of life disruptions - from sudden loss or trauma to ongoing stress and addiction-related struggles. She aims to help clients build more reliable routines and better coping habits.
Rebecca favors approaches that teach concrete tools, like managing unhelpful thoughts, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening motivation for change. She will work with each person to pick techniques that fit their values and daily life. The overall goal is to reduce repeated crisis cycles and increase steadier functioning.
Practical details are part of her approach. Sessions include time for problem-solving and planning between appointments. People who want to start can expect direct guidance on next steps and simple goals to practice between meetings.
How sessions work
Approach and how online sessions are handled
Rebecca draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking and behavior change. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teach concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thinking. Motivational techniques center on clarifying what matters to you and building small, realistic steps toward those goals.She also uses methods that help with emotional regulation and processing difficult experiences. These approaches teach skills to tolerate strong emotions, reduce reactive patterns, and practice new ways of responding to stress or triggers. Together, these methods aim to decrease repeated crisis cycles and increase everyday coping skills.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to test approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps and adjusting plans as progress or obstacles appear.
