Kristen Wilson, LCSW

Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years since earning her Master’s in Social Work. She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and life changes. Her approach aims to respect each person and avoid stigmatizing labels.

Before relocating to Florida, she spent much of her career as a school social worker. In Florida she has provided psychotherapy to adults and children and has offered clinical supervision to licensure candidates as a qualified supervisor. That background gives her experience with a broad range of concerns including grief, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress.

In session she adapts her work to the needs of the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want goal-oriented, shorter-term work.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Kristen commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy during sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully, validating what someone says, and letting the person guide important topics. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice their moment-to-moment experience without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation. These approaches can be adapted to discuss trauma recovery, relationship concerns, and coping with life transitions in concrete ways.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on long-term themes or short-term, goal-oriented work and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and techniques to suit the practical needs of everyday schedules.
