About Christine
Christine Vollmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 16 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, and anger, and she helps people facing life transitions and relationship concerns.
Christine uses straightforward conversation to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck. She leans on client-centered methods that focus on the person's experience, and she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered as simple tools to manage strong emotions in the moment.
In sessions Christine pays attention to both current problems and how past experiences shape reactions now. That allows practical, targeted steps alongside deeper reflection when it is useful. She often sets small, manageable goals so progress is visible between appointments.
Her background in social work gives a broad view of life stressors such as caregiving demands, career pressure, and chronic illness. Christine also supports people working through issues like eating and sleeping problems, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.
People can expect a direct but respectful approach that focuses on what they want to change. Sessions tend to mix talking, skill practice, and brief exercises that can be used outside of sessions. Christine guides clients toward clearer patterns and concrete next steps they can try between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christine frequently uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the person's experience and priorities, and the therapist reflects what is said so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and low mood.She also offers mindfulness techniques as brief exercises to help notice and calm intense feelings in the moment. Mindfulness practices can be simple breathing or attention exercises that reduce reactivity and make it easier to choose a response rather than react automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and help decide what fits the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, set short at-home tasks, and use conversation plus simple practices to keep progress moving between sessions.
