About Jean Kilsheimer Caserta
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta brings a depth of practical experience and a warm, accepting approach to therapeutic work. She began her career as a teacher, drawn to helping students and families navigate learning and life challenges, and later trained as a Behavioral Specialist to better support children with diverse needs. That foundation led her to study Family Systemic Therapy and earn a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. She is a LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and has spent much of her career working in Florida school systems, church programs, and private practice.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French, study at Immaculata University and Laval University, and study abroad programs in Paris and Normandy. Her professional teaching certificate includes endorsements for ESOL - English for speakers of other languages - gifted education, specific learning disabilities, and multiple behavioral disorders. Jean blends a range of therapeutic methods to match each person and family, including client-centered, solution-focused, narrative, play-oriented, brief strategic, problem-solving, and cognitive behavioral strategies.
Jean's personal history - growing up in a large Irish-German Catholic family and caring for a mother who experienced anxiety, depression, and alcoholism - shaped her early compassion and commitment to helping others. She is bilingual in English and French, a mother of three adult children, a grandmother, and has sustained a long marriage. Her perspective as an educator, behavioral specialist, and family therapist informs a respectful, nonjudgmental style that values each person s story and strengths. She approaches problems of all sizes with practical compassion and a belief that change is possible, and she considers it an honor to support individuals, couples, and families in their work toward healthier relationships and better coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where a person s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes by focusing on the client s strengths and perspective.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to support people who are ambivalent about change, including issues with addictions, health behavior, or lifestyle shifts. This approach emphasizes listening, exploring values, and enhancing motivation rather than arguing for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jean works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or connect across distances. These options support continuous care and make regular therapeutic work more accessible for individuals, couples, and families.
