Rebecca Thierfelder , LCSW

Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a direct, compassionate manner that aims to move people past emotional stuck points.

She uses an open, validating style in sessions so people feel heard and understood. Rebecca is comfortable offering a mix of challenge and support, and she sometimes uses humor to help clients reflect and shift perspective. Her aim is practical change rather than jargon-filled conversation.

Her background includes years in community mental health settings working with a wide range of concerns. She has used individual and group approaches to address life changes, motivation, confidence, and recovery from addictive behaviors and trauma. This experience shaped a flexible way of working that adapts to each person's needs.

Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She focuses on aligning therapy to a person's values and everyday goals so work done in sessions connects to real life. People who want clear, collaborative steps tend to do well with her approach.

Rebecca offers live video and phone sessions plus live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing contact between sessions. She aims to respond to messages within 24 hours when possible. Her practice emphasizes practical tools, steady support, and helping people build a life they want to live.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques to guide work in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and helps people build practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action, helping people clarify what matters and take steps toward a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor methods so they fit each person's situation. This collaborative process helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow conversational depth and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or when a written conversation fits the moment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings, weekends, or busy schedules and to keep steady contact between live sessions.
