About Rebecca
Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes and talks plainly, and she aims to help clients move past emotional stuck points so they can make meaningful changes. Rebecca tries to balance empathy with a gently challenging style and uses light humor when it helps the conversation.
She draws on many years working in community mental health, which exposed her to a wide range of concerns and settings. That experience shaped how she supports people facing life transitions, caregiver strain, chronic health challenges, and complicated mood or dissociation symptoms. She also offers group-based work as well as individual sessions when it fits someone’s needs.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match the person’s values and goals. Her work focuses on practical skills for coping, improving communication, and increasing motivation. She emphasizes small, achievable steps that add up over time.
Rebecca aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She is comfortable addressing relationship and commitment concerns, issues around abandonment or codependency, and the emotional effects of trauma and loss. Her approach blends direct feedback with support to build confidence.
She offers live sessions on weekday evenings and some weekends. Messaging is available between sessions, and she generally responds within 24 hours. Prospective clients can use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on her availability.
Evidence-based methods and online care that fit your life
Rebecca uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on stress, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can reduce worry and ease mood symptoms. Another approach emphasizes accepting difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions, which helps people build a more meaningful daily routine.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and life demands with each person and adapts methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful and realistic for everyday life.
Rebecca offers online sessions during weekday evenings and some weekends, and messaging is available between sessions with typical responses within 24 hours. Because specific session formats are listed in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking if you need a particular setup. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on skill-building and progress over weeks and months.
