About Kristen
Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years since completing her Master of Social Work. She practices in Florida and helps people with depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, substance use, bipolar disorder, trauma, and related issues.
She spent much of her career as a school social worker and has provided psychotherapy to adults and children. Since moving to Florida she has also offered clinical supervision to candidates pursuing licensure as a qualified supervisor in Florida.
Her work is interactive and practical. She uses conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries different ways of responding. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can practice between meetings and on building skills for stress, panic, mood shifts, and impulsivity.
Kristen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. She combines these approaches to address trauma, addiction, body image, guilt and shame, and problems stemming from family of origin issues.
People looking for help with anger, isolation, life purpose, money stress, or transitions will find a structure-oriented therapist who emphasizes problem-solving and skill practice. She offers clinical supervision to clinicians working toward Florida licensure as part of her professional work.
Sessions are conducted in English and Kristen works from Florida. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats so arrangements match your needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method works well for anxiety, panic, stress, and mood symptoms. She also uses client-centered techniques to focus on the persons own goals and perspectives, making space for practical problem solving. Mindfulness therapy is used to build attention and calm, helping with impulsivity, stress, and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the first appointments. She discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt worked before, then picks strategies together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full visit is not needed. Therapists can assign short skill practices or worksheets between meetings to keep progress moving even when life is busy.
