About Jean
Jean Kilsheimer Caserta is a Florida-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions like anger, stress, anxiety, and depression. Jean aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where parents and individuals can talk through what is hardest right now.
She began her career as a teacher and later moved into behavioral support and family therapy. That classroom experience shaped how she listens and responds to real-life problems.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French and a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. Jean uses straightforward, practical methods rather than labels. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s lead.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. Other tools in her toolkit include motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals. She has worked in Florida school systems, church programs, and independent practice.
That variety gives her experience with many life stages and situations, from parenting and adoption issues to caregiver stress and chronic illness. Jean speaks English and French and accepts international clients. Her style is warm and compassionate, shaped by personal experience with family illness and recovery from anxiety and depression.
She encourages practical steps you can try between sessions and focuses on small, steady changes that ease daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Jean blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people work through strong emotions and everyday problems. Client-centered work means she follows your concerns, listens closely, and helps you name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and offers practical ways to test new behaviors and reduce anger or anxiety.She also uses motivational interviewing when people need help finding reasons to change and developing their own motivation. This is a collaborative process where therapist and client set small, realistic goals together and track progress over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will talk with you about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your needs. You can expect a team effort to pick strategies that feel doable and relevant to your life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let you check in between sessions or complete shorter visits when time is tight. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.
