About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Flegner is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 3290-57) with three years of experience listed in this profile. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from Wisconsin.
Rebecca focuses on getting to know each person and their goals before choosing how to proceed. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the relationship matters. Early sessions tend to clarify what the person wants to change and what small steps might help reduce anger, irritability, or longstanding resentment.
Her practice draws on evidence-based techniques in straightforward ways. She uses cognitive approaches to look at the thoughts that feed strong emotions. She also makes use of behavioral strategies such as activity scheduling to improve mood and reduce reactivity. Treatment often includes brief between-session work to practice new skills in real situations.
When people come for anger-related concerns, Rebecca helps them identify triggers and notice how thoughts and behaviors interact. Work can include learning to pause, choosing alternative responses, and rebuilding relationships harmed by frequent outbursts. The emphasis is on practical skills that people can try between sessions.
Her background includes years of counseling experience across a range of problems, including helping people who experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. She aims for clear, actionable steps rather than technical language, and she involves clients in decisions about which techniques to use next.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Rebecca commonly uses cognitive methods that help people notice the thoughts that lead to angry reactions. These techniques involve identifying automatic thoughts, testing whether those thoughts fit the facts, and practicing alternative ways of thinking to reduce emotional spikes. They are useful for workplace anger, relationship irritability, and internalized resentment.She also uses behavioral approaches such as activity scheduling and behavioral experiments. Those methods focus on changing what people do day to day to shift mood and reduce reactivity. Simple, planned activities can break cycles of avoidance and give clear chances to practice calmer responses.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as progress is made and adjusted when exercises aren’t helping.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy fit into busy lives by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every visit. These practical benefits can make it easier to try techniques between sessions and keep momentum in addressing anger and mood concerns.
