About Rebecca Thierfelder

Rebecca Thierfelder, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of focused experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She draws on a broad clinical background developed in community mental health settings to support people facing life transitions and persistent emotional challenges.

Described as compassionately challenging with a validating approach, she combines empathy and well-timed humor to encourage self-reflection and movement out of emotional stuck points. Her practice includes both individual and group interventions tailored to each person’s values and goals, with attention to areas such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and relationship difficulties, dissociation, and other complex presentations.

Her therapeutic toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These evidence-informed approaches are applied flexibly to help people build meaningful, values-driven lives.

Rebecca has provided live sessions by video, phone, and chat during weekday evenings and some weekends, and she has used ongoing messaging between sessions with typical responses within 24 hours. She provides services in English and practices in Wisconsin. She is not accepting new clients at this time.
