About Jean
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients feel heard.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to make daily life more manageable and relationships easier to navigate. Caserta trained in marriage and family therapy and holds a Master of Science in Family Therapy.
She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French and taught for many years. That background shaped her belief that behavior reflects family and environment, not personal failure.
Her work draws on methods that fit the person and the problem. Sessions can include client-centered conversations to follow the client’s lead, solution-focused work to set clear short-term goals, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories. Jean practiced for many years in Florida school systems, church programs, and independent practice.
She has over 25 years of clinical experience and has supported people facing grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career stress. Her background as a teacher and behavioral specialist informs a practical, down-to-earth style.
She speaks English and French and works with adults from varied backgrounds. Jean is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT in Florida and offers both clinical experience and a compassionate, patient manner to help clients move forward.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. The therapist creates space for people to speak, and sessions move at the client’s pace to build understanding and confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.
Solution-focused work targets clear, short-term goals. It helps people identify concrete steps they can try right away to improve relationships, parenting challenges, or daily coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that seem most helpful. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for simple check-ins. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
