Christine Stelzer , LPC

Christine Stelzer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and life changes. She also offers help around women’s issues, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and workplace struggles. Christine aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and feel heard.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her, meeting people where they are and adapting conversation to match individual needs. Sessions blend cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build clearer coping habits. Mindfulness tools are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus when stress or anxiety feel overwhelming.

Christine often helps people set small, achievable goals for confidence, sleep, or work-life balance. She also supports those navigating caregiving stress, body image, multicultural challenges, and aging-related concerns. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, avoiding clinical jargon so progress feels tangible.

In session, she works collaboratively to build plans that fit each person’s daily life. That might mean short skill-building exercises, practical coaching around career moves, or guided breath and grounding practices. The aim is to make changes that last beyond the therapy hour.

Her practice includes phone and video sessions as well as messaging options for ongoing check-ins. Christine respects each person’s pace and encourages clients to take the next step when they feel ready.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and creating a space where people can speak openly. The therapist follows each person’s lead and shapes the conversation around their concerns, which helps when sorting out feelings or deciding next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These skills are useful for stress, anxiety, and grounding during intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that fit the person’s daily life and adapt as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a stronger sense of connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, coaching, and when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules.
