About Jean
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, addictions, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and French and accepts international clients.
She began her career as a teacher and later became a behavioral specialist. That classroom background shaped how she views people - as products of family and environment rather than as labels. She completed a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University and moved into school, church, and private practice settings in Florida.
In sessions she draws on several approaches to match what clients need. Those include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies. She aims to use methods that help people notice patterns, try small changes, and solve practical problems.
Her personal history informs her work. Growing up in a large family and supporting a parent with mood issues and alcohol use gave her early exposure to complex family roles. That experience influenced her interest in family-of-origin issues and adoption and foster care concerns.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French and a Master of Science in Family Therapy. Her teaching credential includes endorsements for ESOL, gifted learners, specific learning disabilities, and multiple behavioral disorders. Over decades she has worked with children, teens, and adults in varied settings.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name their own concerns and make choices. It helps when someone wants to talk through family patterns and clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines.
Motivational Interviewing helps people move from uncertainty to action by exploring values and building motivation. It can be useful for addictions, commitment issues, or making lifestyle changes.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as needed.
