Jean Kilsheimer Caserta, LMFT

Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and life changes. She speaks English and French and works with concerns that include chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or family tensions. Jean aims to be caring, non-judgmental, and flexible with each person she meets.

She began as a teacher and then became a behavioral specialist, which shaped how she sees people within their family and community systems. That perspective led her to earn a master of science in family therapy from Nova Southeastern University and to practice in schools, church programs, and private settings in Florida.

Jean draws on practical, straightforward methods to help people get unstuck. She uses Client-Centered listening, Solution-Focused problem solving, Narrative work to reframe stories, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to shift patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are considering change.

Sessions usually focus on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life. She often helps with communication problems, parenting strain, caregiver burnout, body-image concerns, and coping with chronic pain or long-term illness. Her background in education and special needs supports work with adoption, attachment, autism-related concerns, and blended family issues.

Jean brings personal experience with anxiety and depression to her work, which informs a compassionate style. She emphasizes respectful listening, practical tools, and collaborative planning so people can move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

How Jean uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name what matters to them; it is useful for grief, low self-esteem, and stress where empathy and understanding help healing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health issues.

Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change, which fits concerns like addictions, readiness for behavior change, and career transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited, lets people use phone-only sessions if bandwidth is low, and reduces travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking to work in online settings as well.
