Getting to know Christy Vachavake

Hi there, I'm Christy! My name is Christy Vachavake, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) here in Wisconsin. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I work with clients via telehealth statewide, hoping to provide services to those who may find it difficult to access resources in their area. I have experience with a diverse population from all walks of life but now focus on adults. My approach Every person has their own story and unique needs when it comes to therapy. People are much more complex than a cookie-cutter approach allows, and it will take time for us to build a shared path toward what you want to achieve. I typically see people from a biopsychosocial framework and use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but it always depends on the client’s needs. My focus My background includes working with clients in crisis, whether they are experiencing a new stressor or something that has been building over time. This has given me experience with diverse clients and treatments. I have found that my approach tends to work best with adults looking to navigate life’s challenges and gain more insight into themselves. My communication style I have always been a natural listener, and it’s important to me that I understand not just what you say, but what you mean. I am generally a calm and open-minded person who can help people feel more comfortable discussing things that aren’t easy to talk about. It’s also important to me that you understand not just “what” the therapeutic ideas we cover are, but also “why” they can be helpful. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been interested in people’s stories, what makes them who they are, and how we can help others. In my journey of wanting to help, nothing truly felt right until I became a therapist. I love the difference I can make in my clients’ lives, and I know they make their world around them a better place because of it.
