Rebecca ThierfelderLCSW

Rebecca Thierfelder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. She writes and talks plainly, offering a steady presence and direct feedback so clients can move past feeling stuck. Her manner mixes empathy with well-timed humor to ease difficult conversations.

With 11 years of experience, she has worked in community mental health settings across a wide range of concerns. That background means she has used both individual and group work to support people through life changes and chronic challenges. She helps clients address motivation, confidence, and the fallout of traumatic events.

Her approach pulls from several evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She adapts these tools to each person’s values and goals rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Rebecca aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to test new ways of coping. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what each person needs right now.

She offers live sessions in the evenings and some weekends, and clients can message between sessions with responses typically within 24 hours. People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short matching questionnaire to find a schedule that fits their life.

How Rebecca uses evidence-based tools in online therapy

Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce worry and improve mood.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters most. ACT is useful when people want to build a meaningful life even while difficult feelings remain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss different techniques and tailor the plan based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps pick methods that feel usable and relevant to daily life.

If you prefer online options, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Rebecca lists availability for live sessions in the evenings and some weekends and provides messaging between sessions with typical responses within 24 hours. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let you use different tools from wherever you are without a commute.
