Anita Silber Jrade, LMHC

Anita Silber Jrade is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of experience. She focuses on straightforward, practical support for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. Anita speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations feel clear and manageable.

Her work emphasizes client-centered care that starts with listening. She helps people identify what matters to them and set small, reachable steps toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits that reduce stress and improve mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented and efficient. Anita often helps people find immediate strategies to handle workplace pressure, parenting challenges, or the fallout from separation and divorce. She also supports clients dealing with identity, sexuality, and LGBT concerns in a respectful way.

Trauma and abuse concerns are part of her practice through a trauma-aware approach that prioritizes safety and pacing. She works with people on issues like post-traumatic stress, grief, and anger without promising a fixed outcome, focusing instead on steady progress. Anita also addresses body image, self-love, and communication problems to strengthen relationships with self and others.

Her style is compassionate and practical. Sessions focus on real-life solutions, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence so people can move forward at their own pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions with this approach emphasize understanding the client's priorities and shaping goals around what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT can include practical exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments the client practices between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions action-oriented and goal-driven. It highlights small, achievable steps and progress that clients can track week to week, which often fits well with shorter or focused online meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods match a client's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the mix as progress unfolds. That decision is collaborative and revisited over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep continuity of care through moves or life transitions while working with licensed professionals who focus on practical skills and steady progress.
