About Rebecca
Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to those needing steady support during hard times. Rebecca uses a direct but kind style to move people forward from emotional stuck points.
She keeps sessions grounded and practical. Rebecca mixes clear feedback with empathy and a bit of well-timed humor to open new perspectives. She has worked in community mental health settings and has used both individual and group approaches to help people manage life changes and difficult emotions.
Her background includes experience with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, codependency, and dissociation. Rebecca also supports people dealing with co-morbidity, avoidant or dependent personality features, commitment struggles, and issues related to aging.
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to a person’s values and goals. She aims to help people build a life they find meaningful rather than only reducing symptoms. Her practical focus means sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and checking what works between meetings.
She offers live sessions in multiple formats on weekday evenings and some weekends, and messaging between sessions is available. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. She adapts techniques as progress unfolds and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.
This therapist offers live sessions on weekday evenings and some weekends, and messaging between sessions is available. If you want to use online therapy, confirm the currently supported session options before booking so they match your needs. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow brief check-ins between meetings, and help people fit therapy into busy days without long commutes.
