About Rebecca
Rebecca Kinnunen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 17 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, anger, and life transitions. Rebecca also addresses concerns like blended family issues, aging and geriatric challenges, body image, codependency, addiction, and workplace stress.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying workable changes, and building on the client’s existing strengths. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps translate hopes into small, manageable steps.
Rebecca aims to listen without judgment and to offer clear options when emotions or family roles feel overwhelming. She often works with people juggling new household arrangements, shifting parenting roles, or strained communication after separation or remarriage. Conversations tend to be direct and solution-focused rather than long assessments or technical language.
Over her career she has supported people facing major life shifts and everyday stresses. Rebecca emphasizes practical tools for coping, managing anger, and improving interaction patterns. Her work includes attention to issues commonly affecting women and young adults, and to problems arising in blended family situations.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Rebecca uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, with costs that vary by location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How Rebecca Uses Evidence-Based Methods in Remote Sessions
Rebecca describes her work as practical and goal-oriented, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotion and behavior. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of interpreting situations. This approach can reduce anxiety and improve responses to everyday stress.Another useful technique emphasizes learning concrete coping skills for anger and strong emotions. People practice simple steps for slowing reactions, communicating more clearly, and handling conflict with less escalation. These skills are often presented as short exercises to try between sessions so progress can be tracked.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss different techniques and then collaborate with the client to pick what fits their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as sessions progress to match changing needs.
