About Antoinette
Antoinette Wilder is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and parenting struggles. She also focuses on life purpose, self-esteem, caregiver stress, and women's issues.
She uses straightforward, person-focused conversation to clarify what matters most right now. Sessions are a place to talk through confusing feelings about relationships, work, or major life changes. She asks practical questions and listens for patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Her background includes work in Family and Juvenile Court addressing parent-child relationship issues, divorce, child support, and job readiness support. She has run domestic violence and parenting groups, which informs how she responds to family stress and conflict.
Antoinette blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. That means she centers the conversation on the person in front of her while also offering concrete, behavior-focused tools. These tools can help with panic attacks, worry, and changing stressful patterns.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps. People often work on communication strategies, managing guilt or shame, and practical coping for caregiving or midlife transitions. The approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable, one step at a time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Antoinette uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and helping them name their concerns. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to talk and to sort out feelings about relationships or life changes.CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them. It can be useful for panic attacks, persistent worry, and learning new ways to respond in stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. She collaborates with clients to pick methods that match goals and preferences, adjusting tools and pacing as needed. This is a shared process rather than a fixed plan.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins may fit a workday break, and audio-only sessions can use less bandwidth. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep therapy consistent when schedules or location change, while adapting exercises so they can be practiced between meetings.
