About Jean
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and life changes.
Jean began her career as a teacher and then became a behavioral specialist. She earned a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. Her background includes work in Florida school systems, church programs, and private practice. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French and has classroom endorsements for ESOL, gifted learners, specific learning disabilities, and behavioral disorders.
In sessions she uses practical, conversational methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused interventions. She aims to talk through current problems, identify small steps, and practice new ways of handling stress and relationships. Work often includes tracking thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and reframing stories people tell about themselves.
Her experience spans early career and midlife concerns, caregiving stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, chronic illness and pain, and attachment and abandonment themes. She also supports people dealing with anger, body image, commitment struggles, and communication problems.
Jean speaks English and French and accepts international clients. People who choose her typically want a direct, practical approach with an experienced clinician who has a long history in schools and community settings.
Approaches you can use online and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's own goals. It helps when someone needs a calm setting to talk through decisions, relationships, or identity questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits by practicing concrete changes and tracking results. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term method that helps people move from uncertainty to action; it is useful for addiction, career changes, or making health-related choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods based on your goals, preferences, and what you want to try. That collaborative process usually begins in the first few sessions as priorities become clearer.
Session logistics should fit into daily life. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions allow easier scheduling around classes, work, or caregiving, and make it simpler to keep shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions without travel. If you need to balance a busy week, online meetings can reduce time spent commuting and make regular work on skills more practical.
