Christine Vollmer

Christine Vollmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 16 years of experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and the ripple effects of trauma and addiction. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, and difficulties with intimacy or relationships.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, concrete goals. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. She mixes different methods so the work matches each person's needs.

Christine uses client-centered techniques to make the room less about labels and more about what matters to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness tools are offered to help with stress, grounding, and focus.

Over the years she has worked with people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and career or life-purpose questions. She pays attention to body image, guilt and shame, jealousy, and the challenges men sometimes bring to therapy. Her goal is to help people build practical coping skills and clearer self-understanding.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental approach and direct guidance on next steps. Christine helps people try small changes, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them discover what matters most. This approach can help with low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor the plan as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and client-centered conversation to an online setting to help progress between sessions.
