Antoinette Wilder

Antoinette Wilder is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and focuses on building a space where people can talk openly about hard feelings. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients take practical steps forward.

She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try simple behavior changes. Conversations tend to be collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to daily coping skills and clearer communication.

Antoinette has worked in the Family and Juvenile Court system, helping with parent-child relationship issues, divorce, child support, and job readiness. She has run domestic violence and parenting groups, and has ten years of experience as an LMSW, licensed in Michigan. That background informs her practical approach to problems people bring to therapy.

In sessions she often helps parents and caregivers manage stress, improve communication, and set realistic goals after major life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, shame, or overwhelm by breaking concerns into manageable steps. If you are looking for a down-to-earth therapist who listens and offers clear strategies, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist will prioritize understanding your experience and follow your lead on goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying simple behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with you and help decide whether a client-centered style, CBT techniques, or a blend fits best. That plan can change over time as needs shift.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, cut travel time, and make it easier to check in between appointments. Others appreciate being able to work on homework tasks and practice coping skills in everyday settings. The therapist will help tailor sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
