Kristen Wilson, LCSW

Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years since completing her Master of Social Work. She brings a warm, interactive style and focuses on treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Many people seek her help for trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and issues like ADHD or substance concerns.

She spent much of her career working as a school social worker and later moved to Florida where she has provided psychotherapy to adults and children. She has also offered clinical supervision to candidates pursuing licensure in Florida as a qualified supervisor, supporting new clinicians as they develop their skills.

In sessions she blends straightforward methods so conversations are practical and goal oriented. She draws on client-centered work to make space for each person’s story. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Kristen also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and strong emotions. She adapts the plan to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.

People come to her for help with relationship strain, grief, eating and body image concerns, mood disorders including bipolar, panic and post-traumatic stress, and life transitions. She encourages realistic steps and offers support as clients try new ways of coping and making change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kristen often uses client-centered approaches that prioritize listening and understanding each person’s experience. That style helps build trust and makes online conversations feel personal and focused. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and trying small changes; online sessions can work well for learning and practicing those skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on needs. That collaborative planning helps choose whether to emphasize skill building, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps.

The therapist biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, help reduce time spent traveling, and allow people to check in from a convenient location. It can also let sessions be shorter or more focused when schedules require quick, practical support.
