Jean Kilsheimer Caserta, LMFT

Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and addictions. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to create a respectful space where concerns can be named and understood. Jean brings warmth and steady guidance to sessions so people feel heard and supported.

She began her career as a teacher and later trained in family therapy at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. That path led to roles in schools, church programs, and private practice, where she has worked with children, teens, adults, and caregivers. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French and a Master of Science in Family Therapy.

Jean draws on client-centered methods that focus on each person’s goals and strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and try small, practical changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques guide short-term goal setting and clearer next steps.

Her earlier work as a behavioral specialist and educator shaped how she approaches family and learning differences. She has experience supporting people with ADHD, attachment and adoption-related issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Jean also understands challenges tied to aging, chronic illness, and grief.

Jean speaks English and French and has over 25 years of experience in clinical and educational settings. She treats each client as an individual and collaborates on a plan that fits their life and values. To begin, she asks people to share what matters most so therapy can be practical and focused.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jean often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to set goals and guide change. This approach helps people who need a compassionate space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and tests small changes that can improve day-to-day functioning. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when clients want concrete steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She pays attention to goals, timing, and what feels doable, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. The original biography does not specify which online formats she uses, so confirm available session types before booking. The focus in remote work is the same as in person - clear goals, small experiments between sessions, and steady support to help people move forward.
