About Kristen
Kristen Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and Florida with 14 years since completing her master’s degree in social work. She has extensive experience working in school settings and providing psychotherapy for adults and children. Kristen focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She spent much of her career as a school social worker and has provided clinical supervision to licensure candidates in Florida. That background means she is used to practical problem solving and helping people navigate systems like schools and community supports. Her work has included supporting people with mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress, and with challenges around anger, self-esteem, eating, and body image.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work. She also uses mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing to help people make changes. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, skill practice, and everyday steps that fit a person's life.
Kristen aims to talk through patterns that keep problems going and to develop concrete ways to manage symptoms and stressful situations. She also addresses family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and financial concerns as they relate to mental health. Her practice is based in Florida and services are conducted in English.

BHow sessions work
How Kristen's approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns, helping people name what matters and set personal goals. It supports work on self-esteem, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness by prioritizing the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and respond differently to triggers. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and panic.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what feels practical. She will discuss which methods are likely to help and adjust plans as progress and needs change.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into busy lives. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time so people can use a lunch break or an evening slot more easily. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats offered before booking and use the platform's steps to complete the matching questionnaire and set a first appointment.
