About Rebecca
Rebecca Kinnunen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 17 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, anger, and coping with life changes. Rebecca also notes additional focus areas such as blended family issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and workplace stress.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths that can be used to address current problems. In sessions she listens, asks focused questions, and helps clients identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Rebecca commonly addresses patterns that cause repeated conflict, such as communication problems, codependency, jealousy, or commitment worries. She also supports people facing substance use concerns, body image struggles, guilt, and shame. Work with young adults and women's issues is included in her stated focus areas.
She frames change as something achieved through clear goals and steady effort. Sessions typically emphasize problem-solving, improving everyday interactions, and building coping skills for stress and anger. The aim is to reduce immediate strain at home and at work while building longer-term tools.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Rebecca notes that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Rebecca describes her practice as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety, teaching simple coping strategies and breathing or grounding practices to use when feeling overwhelmed. Another approach focuses on communication and behavior patterns that contribute to family conflict, helping people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of speaking or setting boundaries.Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process can include adjusting methods if something does not fit or if different goals emerge over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It can also let people join from wherever they are based in Wisconsin while fitting sessions into a weekday break or evening routine. Licensed professionals adapt these techniques for remote conversations so practical skill practice and discussion still take place effectively.
