About Kristian

Kristian Wilson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other issues such as addiction, grief, and sleep problems. Kristian also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy questions, career stress, and attention-related challenges like ADHD.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing life changes and complex personal histories. Kristian uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, person-focused conversation. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going.

Mindfulness practices are part of her approach when slowing down and building present-moment awareness is helpful. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves and Motivational Interviewing when working through change and ambivalence.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and practical steps. Kristian helps people identify patterns that come from their family of origin and how those patterns affect relationships and daily life now. She works with topics like attachment issues, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and communication problems when these are part of a person's concerns.

Kristian aims for a collaborative style that prioritizes the client's priorities. She supports learning new skills, trying different ways of relating, and tracking small changes between sessions. People interested in starting are invited to use the site's process to match and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions

Kristian blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address daily problems and relationship patterns. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person's concerns and priorities. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters most to them. CBT looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or relationship conflicts.

She also uses Narrative Therapy in online sessions to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach can be useful for shifting identity issues, attachment concerns, and long-standing family patterns. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; Kristian will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences rather than assuming one way fits everyone.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can fit into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or full sessions around work and family obligations. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can make sessions easier on low-bandwidth connections or during a brief work break.
