About Antoinette

Antoinette Wilder is a licensed LMSW practicing in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while navigating family challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

With a decade of professional experience, she draws on practical strategies and compassionate listening to help clients explore patterns that contribute to emotional distress and to cultivate clearer thinking and healthier responses. Her approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, creating space for clients to express themselves and then to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Antoinette has worked within family and juvenile court settings and led domestic violence and parenting groups, experiences that inform her understanding of relationship dynamics, divorce and separation, and parenting struggles. She aims to be open and nonjudgmental while supporting clients as they take steps toward greater clarity, coping skills, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that guide online therapy and what to expect

Antoinette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and adjust the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, panic, or relationship stress, offering practical tools and exercises aimed at symptom reduction and improved daily functioning. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so that clients feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Antoinette works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and useful for each individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in ways that feel most comfortable. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to offer interventions and support without requiring in-person visits.
