Dr. Rebecca Flegner

Dr. Rebecca Flegner welcomes people who are struggling with strong emotions like anger, stress, grief, or depression. She aims to make the first conversations simple and direct so people can say what feels hardest to manage. Rebecca is a Wisconsin licensed psychologist and uses clear practical steps to help people cope and feel steadier in daily life.

Rebecca emphasizes understanding the person first. She listens for what matters most to the client and then helps set goals together. Sessions often include straightforward strategies to manage upsetting thoughts, plan small behavior changes, and build routines that support mood and relationships.

Her background includes several years providing counseling and private practice experience. That work has included supporting people with trauma and abuse, relationship stress, compassion fatigue, and mood conditions like bipolar disorder. She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method, choosing tools that fit each person’s needs.

In therapy, clients can expect both in-session conversation and short between-session tasks. Those tasks might include tracking thoughts, trying a new activity, or practicing different ways of responding to anger. Rebecca frames these as collaborative experiments to see what helps in day-to-day life.

Rebecca works in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English. Her license is listed as WI Psychologist 3290-57. If someone wants to begin, Rebecca asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to start.

How evidence-based methods can work in online therapy

Dr. Rebecca Flegner uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and real-life routines. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. Behavioral activation encourages planning small, positive activities to lift mood and reduce avoidance, which can help people feeling stuck or low.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current needs and goals, then suggest techniques to try. Together they will adjust the plan based on what helps most, treating therapy as a practical teamwork effort.

For online work, confirm session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy days because it can reduce travel time, make scheduling during a lunch break possible, and let shorter check-ins happen more often. It can also allow a mix of focused conversation and between-session tasks so changes tested in everyday life get reviewed quickly.
