About Kristen
Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers steady, empathetic support for adults facing stress, mood struggles, trauma, and life transitions. She draws on a mix of practical techniques to help people take small steps that lead to real change. She uses client-centered work to listen first and shape goals around each person's needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different coping skills. Mindfulness practices are used to calm racing emotions and bring attention back to the present.
Background and approach
Kristen trained in social work and has 14 years since earning her Master’s degree in Social Work. Much of her career was spent as a school social worker, and since living in Florida she has provided psychotherapy to adults and children while also supervising clinicians pursuing licensure in Florida.
She has experience helping people with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and money stress. In sessions she keeps the tone warm and interactive.
Conversations focus on real problems and practical steps - skills to manage panic, ways to reduce conflict, and tools to improve everyday mood. Kristen works with each person to build a plan that fits their life and goals.

Online support
How Kristen’s approaches work online
Kristen uses client-centered work to put the person's goals first and shape each session around what matters most. This approach helps clarify priorities and ensures therapy stays focused on real-life concerns like mood, relationships, or coping with stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and mood swings because it offers concrete skills people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That matching can shift over time as progress is made or as life changes occur.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
