About Jean

Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, addictions, and life transitions. She also works with concerns like ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and relationship or career stress.

Jean started as a teacher and moved into behavioral support because she wanted to help students and families without labeling them. She later completed a Master of Science in Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University and began practicing in school systems, church programs, and private practice. Her background includes teaching and endorsements in ESOL, gifted education, learning disabilities, and multiple behavioral disorders.

Her approach is practical and adaptable. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work to meet each person's needs. Sessions focus on listening, identifying workable changes, and building skills that fit day-to-day life.

Personal experience shaped her interest in mental health. She has lived with and recovered from depression and generalized anxiety, and she speaks from both professional and personal perspectives. She also speaks French in addition to English and welcomes international clients.

Jean brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work and emphasizes respect, flexibility, and courtesy. Parents worried about a child, adults facing a life shift, or caregivers carrying heavy burdens can expect straightforward conversation and steady support.

Step 3

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building the relationship first. Jean uses this to help clients feel heard and to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and increases motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

The biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent and relevant to everyday routines.
