About Rebecca
Rebecca Kinnunen is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with 17 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger, and coping with life changes. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Rebecca starts from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
Background and approach
She helps people name problems, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding. Sessions often involve clear feedback and practical steps to manage strong emotions and improve communication. Rebecca emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace.
Beyond those core topics, she has worked with concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, body image, codependency, commitment questions, communication problems, substance issues, family problems, guilt and shame, jealousy, women’s issues, workplace stress, and young adult transitions. Her background gives her a wide lens on family and parenting matters while still focusing on individuals’ immediate needs.
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in-session. She helps clients develop skills for coping, emotional regulation, and clearer conversations. The goal is practical change that feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Parents and caregivers who want a calm, respectful approach may find her a good fit. She supports people taking steps toward a more balanced and hopeful life.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life change. One common approach she uses centers on learning practical coping and emotion-regulation skills to reduce anxiety and manage anger. This helps people handle stressful moments and regain a sense of control. Another main approach emphasizes improving communication and problem solving within relationships and families. That work teaches clearer ways to express needs and to set boundaries when life or parenting challenges feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She listens to what matters most, adapts techniques to the situation, and checks in often to make sure progress feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy families and working adults. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions around schedules, and maintain momentum between appointments. Rebecca uses these options to make consistent therapy more accessible and to support steady, practical progress.
