About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Wiersma is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 11 years of experience in mental health. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, parenting and attachment concerns, and related life stresses. Rebecca describes her work as client-centered and practical.
She helps people sort through immediate problems like panic, low mood, anger, or grief. She also supports those dealing with longer-term patterns such as attachment wounds, family-of-origin issues, or mood disorders. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Her approach draws from several methods. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to calm intense emotions and build moment-to-moment awareness.
Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas shape how she looks at relationships and repetitive patterns. These approaches help uncover how early relationships or family experiences influence current struggles. Rebecca adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a single formula.
Practical matters are part of the work. Expect discussions about what’s happening now, steps to change upsetting patterns, and small exercises to practice outside sessions. Rebecca encourages collaboration so goals and techniques make sense for each person’s life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas in her clinical work. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions; it can help with parenting, relationship strain, and repeat patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals, how they prefer to work, and which methods feel most useful. That collaboration guides whether sessions focus more on skill-building, reflective work, or mindfulness practice. The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, shortening travel time, and keeping regular check-ins during life transitions. Others choose formats that allow shorter phone check-ins or video meetings to practice skills between work or parenting responsibilities. Discussing practical needs early on helps match session structure to daily life.Sheet 3
