About Jean
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, depression, addictions, and career questions. She speaks English and French and brings a calm, non-judgmental presence to conversations about life changes and coping. Jean’s approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people find workable steps forward.
She began as a teacher and later became a behavioral specialist, noticing how family and environment shape behavior. That led her to complete a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University and to a career supporting children, adults, and families in schools, church programs, and private practice. Jean holds a Florida LMFT credential and has 25 years of clinical experience.
In sessions she uses approaches that fit the person and problem, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She favors methods that help people tell their story differently, test small changes, and build coping skills. Conversations are practical, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings.
Jean often draws on her background in education and behavioral support when working with learning challenges and attention differences. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and attachment concerns. No concern is judged too small to raise in a session.
Her path into therapy was shaped by personal experience with anxiety and depression, and by long family caregiving. That history informs her compassionate, patient style and her focus on helping people recover function and hope.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps reflect their feelings, and supports self-directed insight and choice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and coping habits.Jean treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She will talk with the client about goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative, with feedback and small experiments to see what produces useful change.
Practical benefits of working online depend on the session formats the therapist offers. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen between other commitments. It can also let someone choose a session rhythm that supports steady progress while juggling work, family, or caregiving duties.
