Saskia Charles , LMHC

Saskia Charles uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, based in Florida and brings 17 years of experience in the mental health field. Saskia focuses on women's issues among other concerns and aims to create a straightforward, compassionate space to talk about hard things.

Saskia has worked across residential, in-home, addictions, and outpatient settings. That variety shaped her ability to adapt strategies to each person’s situation. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, coping skills, and ways to change patterns that cause trouble day to day.

She blends methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior skills. In practice that looks like listening first, then offering tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and existential themes also guide conversations about meaning and motivation.

Saskia often supports people dealing with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, adjustment concerns, family conflict, blended family dynamics, and LGBT-related issues. She also works with parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Her background includes work with addictions and related recovery concerns.

Sessions usually move at the client’s pace. She aims to build hope, strengthen coping, and help people make changes they want. The focus is practical steps and steady progress, not pressure or quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy is built around the person in front of the therapist. It focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to you, and helping you set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that help when feelings run high or relationships get strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, needs, and preferences and suggest a mix of approaches that fit your situation. That way the plan can be adjusted over time if different tools are needed or priorities change.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates or get brief support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, or other responsibilities while keeping focus on steady progress.
