About Rebecca

Rebecca Kinnunen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, anger, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and grounded in real-life steps rather than jargon. Rebecca creates a calm space to talk through feelings, worries, and patterns that get in the way. She helps clients name what matters and set small, achievable goals.

Over time that can shift how someone handles stress, anger, or communication problems. Her experience includes support for aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, body image and women's issues, and problems related to substance use. She also addresses workplace struggles, codependency, guilt, jealousy, and challenges common to young adults.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what a person wants to change. Rebecca offers guidance, coping strategies, and practical tools. The aim is to help people move toward a more manageable, meaningful life at a comfortable pace.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rebecca lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then practice new responses to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach centers on improving communication and problem solving within relationships and family systems by teaching clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies if needed, and adjust plans based on what helps you make steady progress. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so sessions match their preferences and daily life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping a steady connection with a licensed professional.
