About Kristian

Kristian Wilson is a licensed mental health counselor who has practiced in Florida for 16 years. She combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic, client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief, and addiction.

Background and approach

Her training includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and narrative work to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Kristian emphasizes collaboration and clarity in therapy, inviting clients to explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and set attainable goals.

She also attends to areas like self-esteem, career transitions, parenting challenges, sleeping difficulties, and ADHD while addressing related problems such as communication, codependency, and caregiver stress. Kristian works with a broad set of concerns including LGBT matters, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, always aiming to respect each client’s lived experience.

In sessions she blends motivational strategies with solution-focused exercises to support change and resilience. Her practice accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to accommodate varied schedules and life circumstances, making it possible for people in different places to begin and sustain therapeutic work.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Options

Kristian often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online practice. CBT helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress, while Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and empowered to find their own solutions. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help people build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity in situations like relationship conflict or chronic stress.



Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; Kristian collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Early sessions focus on understanding concerns, establishing goals, and experimenting with techniques so the plan evolves based on what proves most helpful.



Online therapy with Kristian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility and access across different schedules and time zones. These formats allow continuing care from afar, easier scheduling around work and family obligations, and the opportunity to use tools like short messaging or chat for check-ins between sessions when appropriate.
