About Rebecca

Dr. Rebecca Wiersma is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) with a doctorate in philosophy emphasizing social work practice and more than 11 years of experience in mental health care.

Background and approach

She has worked with people across the lifespan on issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, parenting and attachment concerns, trauma and grief, ADHD, and a wide range of mood and relationship challenges. Her training blends clinical depth with practical skills developed in diverse settings in Michigan.

Rebecca follows a client-centered philosophy, tailoring interventions to each person's circumstances rather than relying on a single method. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic perspectives so the work can address thoughts, emotions, relational patterns, and present-day functioning.

This flexible stance supports work on practical coping, emotional regulation, family or caregiving questions, and changes in life direction. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help clients find approaches that fit their goals and values.

Rebecca offers services through formats suited to contemporary lives, and she welcomes inquiries from people in Michigan seeking experienced, thoughtful social work support.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Practical Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and expectations in close ties, helping people explore patterns in caregiving, attachment, and relationship dynamics to improve connection and regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and self-compassion practices to reduce reactivity, support emotional regulation, and improve coping with stress and persistent mood concerns.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess goals, preferences, and concerns, then adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant to changing needs and circumstances. This flexibility is intended to help clients try different tools and keep what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow scheduling that fits varied routines and provide multiple ways to stay connected between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to apply therapeutic strategies in day-to-day life while working with licensed professionals.
