About Kristen
Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who blends structured therapeutic techniques with a compassionate, person-focused stance.
Background and approach
With a Master of Social Work completed 14 years ago and a background that includes school social work and clinical supervision in Florida, she draws on a broad clinical foundation to address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and stress.
Her practice also addresses related concerns including body image, self-esteem and self-love, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, and women's issues. Her style is warm and interactive, emphasizing respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatizing labels.
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods, and incorporates solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques when appropriate. Kristen adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs and goals, drawing on 14 years of professional experience to guide practical strategies and coping skills development.
She encourages clients who are ready for change to take that first step toward greater well-being and offers support and supervision informed by her school social work background and clinical practice in Florida.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so the person feels heard while exploring goals and values. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that support stress reduction and improved coping with difficult emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Conversations, trial techniques, and ongoing feedback guide adjustments so the plan evolves with the client's progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use shorter or longer communications depending on the moment and the technique being practiced. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill-building to each format to support continuity and progress.
