Christine Vollmer, LCSW

Christine Vollmer is a Wisconsin-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also addresses issues such as addiction, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career stress, and jealousy. Her style is warm and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. She listens closely to each person's story and tailors ways to cope that fit daily life. Christine draws on several well-known approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and build present-moment awareness. Over time she helps people make sense of past patterns and try new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used when quick, practical changes are needed. Psychodynamic ideas can be brought in to look at deeper emotional patterns when that feels helpful. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship with clear steps for progress. The focus is on small changes that add up to better coping, healthier relationships, and more confidence in everyday life.

Approaches and what online work looks like

Christine often blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply, and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness practices are also used to help people notice stress and respond more calmly. These exercises can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, eating patterns, and everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity during life transitions so people can keep regular sessions while juggling work or caregiving.
