Saskia Charles, LMHC

Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, mood problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Saskia speaks plainly and aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first session.

She has worked in residential programs, in-home settings, addiction treatment, and outpatient care. That variety shaped a flexible approach she adapts to each person's needs. Sessions often focus on what is happening now and on building everyday skills to cope and make changes.

Saskia emphasizes meeting people where they are and helping them find hope and motivation. Her methods draw on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. She uses whatever combination fits a person's goals and situation.

Common concerns she addresses include family conflict and blended family issues, grief and loss, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and relationship challenges. She also helps people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, anger, codependency, attachment questions, and dissociation.

People looking for straightforward guidance will find a conversational, down-to-earth tone in sessions. Saskia encourages practical goals and steady steps toward change. She practices in Florida and provides care in English.

Using proven approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps people clarify goals and find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then tailor methods to fit those needs in collaboration with the client.

Confirm the specific session options before booking. When available, online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical adjustments like meeting length and focus areas so sessions match everyday routines and goals.
