About Rebecca
Rebecca has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, and mood disorders. She has experience supporting people with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities alongside other mental health needs, and she lists intellectual disability among areas of focus.
Her style is person-centered and trauma informed. She listens first, then helps people set clear, practical goals. Rebecca uses tools people can try between visits to help with stress, emotion regulation, and relationships.
Rebecca offers evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She adapts these methods to each person’s goals and situation rather than following a single script.
Many clients come with questions about parenting, school challenges, mood shifts, or feeling overwhelmed. Rebecca works with parents and caregivers to address those stresses and to build strategies that fit daily life. She aims for straightforward guidance and steady progress.
Rebecca encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session based on availability. She accepts clients in English and works with people located in Wisconsin as well as international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgment, helps clarify what matters to the client, and tailors support to fit those goals. This approach is often helpful for people who want a collaborative, respectful process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks issues into manageable steps and uses practical exercises to change reactions to stress, anxiety, and mood problems. This approach is useful for people who prefer structured tools and homework between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior. It includes techniques for grounding, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, mood swings, and impulsivity.
Finding the best approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying one method, blending techniques, or shifting focus as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help people choose what works for them while keeping their daily routines intact.
