About Kirsten
Kirsten Guiliano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 10 years of professional experience. She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC and in Illinois as an LCPC. Kirsten works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, and depression, and she lists young adult issues among her focus areas.
Kirsten structures sessions around straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what people are facing and helps them sort through feelings and choices. Discussions often include ways to manage panic, improve communication, and address isolation or low motivation.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work across settings, so she is used to helping people who are navigating life transitions. That experience informs how she frames goals and short-term plans. She pays attention to problems tied to attachment, forgiveness, guilt, and impulsivity.
In sessions she breaks problems into clear parts and looks for small, manageable changes clients can try between meetings. She also supports work on life purpose, self-love, and handling the fallout of separation or narcissistic interactions. The approach is practical and aimed at day-to-day improvement.
Kirsten asks new clients to outline current struggles and what they hope to change. She and the client then set simple goals and a pace that fits the person’s life. For younger adults this can mean focusing on career starts, relationship decisions, money stress, or the feeling of being behind.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on learning practical skills and changing patterns of thinking and behavior. Cognitive-style approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Behavioral strategies focus on small, repeatable actions such as gradual exposure for panic or routine-setting to improve motivation.Another common approach draws on attachment and communication ideas. This looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and offers concrete ways to practice different responses in conversations and conflicts. It can help with loneliness, relationship struggles, and setting boundaries after separation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. Plans are adjusted as progress and new information emerge.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in sessions, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during moves or school and work changes, while the therapist and client decide together on pacing and homework between sessions.
