About Rebecca
Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes and speaks plainly with empathy and a gentle sense of humor to guide people past emotional stuck points. Her tone balances challenge with validation so progress feels possible and realistic.
Rebecca draws on 11 years of practice in community mental health settings. That background means she has supported people through a wide range of concerns, from chronic illness and caregiving stress to issues like codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems.
How Rebecca works
She uses both individual and group approaches depending on what will help someone meet their goals. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear goals. Conversations are direct but kind, and she encourages self-reflection that leads to change.
Rebecca aims to match interventions to each person’s values and priorities. She offers live sessions by video or phone and also provides live chat and text-based messaging options. Messaging is available anytime and she typically responds within 24 hours between scheduled sessions.
Getting started involves choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that fits with her availability. Rebecca emphasizes making therapy fit into real life so people can take steady steps toward feeling better.

Online support options
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real change. Cognitive behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment style work helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life they find meaningful, which can help with low self-esteem and motivation.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She talks with each person about goals and preferences, then adapts methods over time so therapy stays useful. Clients shape the focus and pace while the therapist offers tools and feedback to support progress.
Online formats make scheduling more flexible. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when interaction matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging fit people who want ongoing support between sessions or prefer writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the same licensed professional guidance.
