About Kristen
Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years since earning her Master of Social Work. She has practiced in school settings and in community therapy, and she sees adults with mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, and a range of life stresses. She also lists work with guilt and shame, family of origin issues, grief, and substance concerns.
Kristen spent much of her career as a school social worker before focusing on adult psychotherapy in Florida. Her background includes supporting people with depression, bipolar disorder, panic, ADHD, addictions, and post-traumatic stress. She has also provided clinical supervision for licensure candidates in Florida.
Her practice draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often center on the client's goals, practical steps to change thinking and behavior, and short-term problem solving. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are also part of how she works when they fit someone’s needs.
In sessions she aims for a conversational and interactive style. Conversations tend to focus on clear steps and coping skills as well as identifying patterns that keep painful feelings going. When trauma or grief is involved, Kristen uses focused strategies to reduce distress and build everyday coping.
She works in English and practices in Florida under the LCSW credential. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s online options. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Kristen’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and on the client’s own goals. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities, reflects what she hears, and helps shape sessions around what the client wants to address. This approach fits many concerns including guilt, shame, and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with practical experiments, and learning new coping strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and grounding exercises people can use between sessions. These tools help reduce reactivity and provide short breaks from intense self-judgment or rumination that often comes with shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with clients to decide which mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins, phone-only meetings if bandwidth is limited, or a regular weekly appointment that fits into a busy day.
