About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Flegner is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 3290-57) with three years of licensed practice. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and related struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward practical change rather than labels.
Rebecca draws on several evidence-based methods while emphasizing a person-centered stance. She begins by learning what matters to the client and what specific goals they want to reach. Sessions focus on clear strategies and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Homework between meetings is common and designed to fit into everyday life.
Cognitive approaches are used to notice and change thoughts that feed strong emotions. She also uses rational emotive ideas to identify unhelpful beliefs and replace them with more helpful ones. Behavioral activation is part of the work when low mood or avoidance keeps someone from activities that matter to them.
Therapy is collaborative and direct. Rebecca aims to be authentic and respectful while helping clients track progress. The work often mixes talking in session with concrete exercises to practice between visits.
Clients who want to understand anger, reduce snapping at loved ones, manage resentment at work, or respond differently to stressful situations may find this approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how online work fits
Dr. Flegner uses clear cognitive methods that help people notice thoughts that trigger anger and stress. Cognitive techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and help people test new ways of thinking that reduce reactivity.She also uses rational emotive ideas to locate rigid or self-defeating beliefs and to practice more flexible, realistic alternatives. These techniques target the kinds of hot reactions that lead to snapping at others or buildup of resentment.
Behavioral activation is another core tool she uses for low mood and avoidance. It involves scheduling regular, meaningful activities to lift mood and create opportunities to practice different responses in real life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and allow therapy without travel time. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you schedule so you can choose what fits your routine.
