Rabecca Cole , LCSW

Rabecca Cole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 12 years of clinical experience. She combines a clinical social work license with specialized training in sexual health, including certification as a sex therapist and a sexual health certificate from the University of Michigan, to support people navigating complex emotional and relational concerns.

She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, chronic illness, and significant life transitions, and she is an active ally to LGBTQI+ people. Her practice also addresses relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and a range of interconnected issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, and chronic pain or illness.

Her clinical approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, cognitive processing strategies, and client-centered care. She emphasizes meeting people where they are, adapting interventions to each person’s changing needs, and maintaining an authentic, respectful therapeutic stance.

Committed to continuous learning, she keeps expanding her skills to better serve her community and the diverse experiences people bring to therapy. She values each person’s journey and approaches clinical work with curiosity, compassion, and professional rigor.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Rabecca Cole integrates several practical approaches into online sessions to meet individual needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early bonds shape current patterns of relating - it helps people explore attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and ways to build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and strengths, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to promote insight and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rabecca works with each person to assess their goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, and she adapts techniques over time to fit changing needs. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and access support from home or another convenient location while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who use established therapeutic methods.
