Christine Stelzer, LPC - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Christine

Christine Stelzer is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and life changes. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or uncertain.

She uses plain conversation and proven techniques to address problems. That might mean looking at unhelpful thought patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy, practicing simple mindfulness skills, or shaping sessions around what the person needs in the moment.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s comfort level. Christine emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. She creates a space where people can name what’s hard without fear of judgment.

Over time she helps clients build clearer thinking, steadier moods, and practical coping tools they can use day to day. Her background includes long experience applying CBT and supportive, person-centered methods in clinical work. She draws on that experience to tailor plans toward goals like improving sleep, reducing anxiety, rebuilding confidence, or managing caregiving stress.

The focus stays on realistic steps and what someone can try between sessions. Christine works with issues across identity and life stage, including LGBT concerns, workplace stress, and multicultural matters. She also addresses topics such as intimacy, family problems, ADHD-related struggles, and seasonal mood changes.

Her approach adapts to the person sitting in front of her and what they want to change.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. It starts with the person’s goals and values and adapts the conversation to what feels most useful in each session. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and clear direction rather than a rigid plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that maintain problems. Online CBT might include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and motivation struggles.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce rumination and increase calm. These practices can be short and practical, which fits well with brief check-ins over chat or focused exercises during video sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and comfort with different formats. The plan can change as progress is made and practical needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone lets people speak without video, and live chat or text supports shorter, frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments while keeping treatment consistent.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
