About Kristen

Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a 14-year professional history in social work and extensive clinical experience. She brings a warm, interactive style to therapy, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Background and approach

Kristen has provided care for people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, addiction, and trauma, and she lists ADHD among her focus areas. Kristen spent much of her career as a school social worker and since relocating to Florida has offered psychotherapy to adults and children as well as clinical supervision for licensure candidates.

Her practice integrates client-centered principles with cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness-informed techniques, adapting treatment plans to each person’s needs. She aims to support clients through life transitions, mood and anxiety concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and issues like self-esteem, impulsivity, and body image.

Kristen holds licensure as an LCSW in Illinois (IL LCSW 149.016890) and Florida (FL LCSW SW16599) and conducts sessions in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers multiple remote session formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Kristen often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely, building trust, and supporting clients to explore their goals at their own pace; this approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. In addition, mindfulness-informed techniques are used to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for emotional regulation, impulsivity, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Kristen works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts methods and goals as therapy progresses to find what fits best for each person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to consistent care. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to maintain continuity of support without travel. These options make it simpler to integrate therapeutic work into busy lives while still using evidence-informed techniques and a collaborative, client-centered stance.
