About Saskia

Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 17 years of experience working in residential, in-home, addictions, and outpatient settings. Saskia aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer choices and more stable days.

She has worked most with people coping with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, and adjustment concerns. She also supports those facing family conflict, blended family challenges, and issues within LGBTQI communities. Addictions, grief, sleep problems, and stress are other areas she addresses.

Saskia uses an eclectic approach that draws on several therapeutic methods. She focuses on building hope and motivation while tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Conversations are practical and centered on what the individual wants to change.

Her background includes roles in residential programs, home-based services, addiction treatment, and outpatient care. That range shapes how she plans treatment and responds to crises or setbacks. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are set together. Saskia encourages honest feedback about what helps and what doesn’t. She welcomes inquiries from people in Florida who want to learn more about working together.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help clients feel heard and to clarify what matters most to them. This style can help with relationship stress, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on connecting thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings attention to regulating emotions and improving coping skills. It includes strategies for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behaviors. DBT techniques can be helpful for anger, mood instability, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit a client’s needs and preferences. That means adapting techniques over time and checking in about what is working.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about which format best fits your schedule and day-to-day demands.
