About Rebecca
Rebecca Kinnunen is a Wisconsin-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, anger, and major life changes. Rebecca frames work around practical goals and real-life problems rather than abstract labels.
She listens to each person’s story and highlights strengths they already have. Sessions focus on specific situations that cause trouble, for example repeated arguments, built-up resentment, workplace frustration, or feeling overwhelmed by change. Rebecca explains options clearly and works with people to choose doable steps.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people notice patterns that keep anger and stress active, then practices different responses in session. Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques and adapts them to what fits each person’s life and routines.
Many clients come with relationship or family concerns linked to anger or anxiety. She helps people improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and rebuild trust in daily interactions. Short practical exercises and check-ins between sessions are used when they help people stay on track.
Rebecca keeps sessions focused on what a client wants to change next. She asks clear questions, suggests simple experiments, and reviews what worked. That way progress is visible and easy to adjust as situations shift.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on what feels most practical for a person. One approach she uses helps people spot thought and behavior patterns that keep anger and anxiety active, then tests small changes to reduce reactivity. This is useful when someone wants clearer routines for responding to provocation or stress. Another technique focuses on communication skills - specific phrases, timing, and boundary setting - to reduce repeated conflicts in relationships and family settings.Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That way the plan is matched to daily life and personal preferences rather than imposed from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when days are busy. Licensed professionals can use remote work to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change, while still focusing on concrete skills and problem solving.
