I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with decades of experience in the mental health field. I have been called compassionately challenging with a validating approach that aids forward movement from emotional stuck points. I am empathetic and use well placed humor to facilitate the self-reflection process. I have extensive experience working across a vast spectrum of conditions and challenge areas given my experience working in community mental health settings. I have utilized both individual and group interventions to assist people with navigating life changes, stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, addictions and trauma. I have training in various modalities including (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (DBT) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, (MI) Motivational Interviewing, (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, and (ACT) Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. These techniques allow me to approach my interactions with a flexible style based on your values to build a life worth living.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Availability is an important factor in selecting a therapist that can meet your scheduling needs. I offer live sessions via chat, video, and phone on weekday evenings and some weekends. Another feature of this service is messaging that is available to you at anytime. I strive to respond to messages within 24 hours in between live sessions. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling & happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rebecca Thierfelder. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Rebecca is an exceptional therapist who often highlights core issues and strengths of yourself that are not so apparent. I always feel like I learn something new about my situation or have something new to work on in my life following our sessions. I have felt heard, understood, and wisely counseled. I highly recommend this professional to anyone struggling or wanting to make positive changes in their life.
