About Rebecca
Rebecca Kinnunen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 17 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, and anger concerns. Rebecca frames therapy as a practical collaboration that focuses on what is happening now and what can change.
She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. Rebecca helps people name patterns, try new responses, and build everyday habits that reduce reactivity and worry.
Her work also covers life transitions and related strains like workplace problems, blended family issues, and young adult challenges. Rebecca includes topics such as substance use, body image, guilt, jealousy, and commitment questions when they come up in a client's life. She approaches those topics with direct conversations about behavior and choices.
In sessions she emphasizes clear communication skills and practical coping strategies. Clients practice ways to manage intense feelings and to repair or improve difficult conversations. Rebecca encourages short, manageable steps that fit into day-to-day routines.
Scheduling begins by completing an online matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Rebecca does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
Approaches for managing strong feelings and relationships
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach is skills-focused work that teaches breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to decrease reactivity and manage anger in the moment. These skills help when frustration builds at home or work and when people want faster ways to calm down.Another frequent element is communication coaching. This involves practicing straightforward ways to say what matters, set boundaries, and repair conversations after conflict. It is useful for relationship strain, rebuilding trust, and reducing recurring arguments.
Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide which tools fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts the plan based on what works in real situations.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking because the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to practice new skills between sessions and to apply strategies directly to everyday moments.
