About Jean

Jean Kilsheimer Caserta brings a warm, pragmatic presence to therapy and aims to help clients who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 25 years of clinical experience, she draws on a background in education and behavioral specialization to meet people where they are and tailor interventions to each person's needs. Her training includes a Master of Science in Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French, and she holds the Florida LMFT credential (FL LMFT MT2119).

Jean’s early career as a teacher and behavioral specialist shaped a systems-oriented perspective that informs her work with individuals and families. She combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused methods to help clients build skills and find clearer paths forward.

Jean conducts therapy in English and French and accepts international clients. She maintains a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance shaped by decades of experience across school, church, and independent practice settings, and she encourages prospective clients to reach out when they are ready to begin a collaborative process of change.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Practical Support

Jean frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral concerns. She also draws on client-centered therapy to provide empathic listening and support, creating a collaborative environment where the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of treatment. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help resolving ambivalence or building motivation for change in areas such as addictions, lifestyle shifts, or parenting adjustments.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey; Jean works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites clients to give feedback so the process stays aligned with what they hope to accomplish.

Online therapy with Jean is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continuity of care across locations, and support different communication styles so clients can choose the format that feels most workable for them.
