Rebecca Rahn, LPC

Rebecca Rahn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem and mood. She meets people where they are and helps them make sense of difficult feelings. Her style is straightforward and supportive for those trying to regain balance.

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new skills. She also draws on client-centered methods to let people lead the pace and focus of their work. When emotions feel intense, techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness can help stabilize reactions so a person can think more clearly.

Rebecca has seven years of clinical experience and practices in Wisconsin. Her background includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and earlier study in psychology and applied sciences. That blend of study and practice informs a down-to-earth approach to common life problems.

In sessions she pays attention to how relationships, family history, identity, and life stress affect daily functioning. She supports people coping with grief, career stress, ADHD, eating or sleeping problems, and the effects of trauma and substance use. Rebecca also works with concerns around gender identity and LGBTQ issues.

Therapy sessions focus on learning skills that can be used outside of sessions. She helps people set clear goals, try new strategies between meetings, and track small changes over time. For many clients this mix of talk, skill practice, and reflection leads to clearer choices and steadier mood.

How Rebecca blends approaches for online care

Rebecca often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She pairs this with client-centered work that lets the person set the pace and priorities for sessions, focusing on what matters most to them.

When intense emotions or impulsive behaviors get in the way, she may introduce dialectical behavior therapy skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. These DBT strategies are practical tools people can practice between meetings to steady reactions and handle conflict more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works. She helps people track progress and pick techniques that feel useful for their life and values.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation and skill coaching, phone can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
