About Rebecca

Dr. Rebecca Flegner is a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. She writes in plain language and aims to create a calm, respectful space where parents can talk through everyday struggles.

Her tone is matter-of-fact and supportive, with an emphasis on concrete steps rather than jargon. Rebecca works from a client-centered foundation that emphasizes understanding and respect.

Background and approach

She begins by learning what matters most to each person and setting clear goals together. Sessions often include practical exercises and short tasks to practice between meetings. She uses well-known, evidence-based techniques such as cognitive approaches that look at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors.

Rebecca also incorporates behavioral activation, which focuses on scheduling manageable, mood-boosting activities. These methods are chosen to fit the family’s needs and daily life. Rebecca is licensed as WI Psychologist 3290-57 and has three years of documented professional experience in this credentialed role.

She provides care in English and conducts sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted. Therapy sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, with costs varying by location and therapist availability.

To start, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approach and online care that fits family life

Her work draws on cognitive approaches that look at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior. That method helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and try different, healthier ways of responding. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

She also uses behavioral activation, which focuses on planning small, doable activities that improve mood and build routine. This approach is practical and easy to try between sessions, especially when daily life feels overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will learn about a person’s goals, daily demands, and preferences, and then tailor techniques that fit. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy makes this work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions are available for times when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to share thoughts between meetings. These options help families fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
