About Christine
Christine Vollmer is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin with 16 years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and self-esteem problems. She also addresses life changes, addiction concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what's getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on practical skills, noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Christine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns and develop alternate behaviors.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help manage physical tension and improve attention. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at past patterns that continue to affect current relationships and decisions.
Christine routinely helps with sleeping and eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include body image, chronic pain and illness, attachment and abandonment worries, and issues around aging and caregiving.
People can expect a clear, problem-focused approach. Christine aims to break concerns into manageable steps and to teach tools that can be practiced between sessions. The emphasis is on observable change rather than vague talk.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete skills for changing thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person's immediate goals and concerns. Mindfulness therapy is offered to build attention and reduce physiological arousal through short practices.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that match those priorities. Adjustments are made over time based on what works in practice rather than a fixed plan.
