About Christine

Christine Vollmer is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use right away. Sessions aim to reduce day-to-day overwhelm and help clients find clearer priorities and steadier routines.

Christine holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and practices in Wisconsin. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Christine often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered methods to make space for what matters most to the person in the room. Therapy often includes short exercises, problem-solving, and small experiments to try between sessions.

Christine helps people build coping skills for sleep, appetite, anger, and addictive habits. She also supports work-related stress and questions about life purpose. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

That experience informs how she tailors interventions and sets realistic goals with each client. Christine aims for clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s tolerance for change.

The focus is on usable strategies, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence. People who come to Christine typically leave with tools they can use the very next day.

How Christine's Approaches Fit Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s priorities. It gives space for clients to set goals and guide the pace of work, which suits conversations about parenting, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try, and she adjusts the plan based on what helps. That means techniques can shift over time as goals and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities. The variety also allows for short check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what the person needs at the moment.

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.
