About Saskia
Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. She also supports clients dealing with sleep problems, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related challenges.
She has worked in residential settings, in-home care, addiction programs, and outpatient clinics. That background means she has seen how patterns from early family life can reappear in adult behavior and relationships. She often helps people untangle those recurring roles and expectations so daily life feels more manageable.
Her practice draws on several approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential therapy, and motivational interviewing. Sessions typically include practical skill-building, looking at the stories people tell about themselves, and setting achievable steps for change.
People who come for help with family of origin issues often work on communication, boundaries, and attachment patterns. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment, blended family dynamics, codependency, and coping with divorce or separation.
Saskia aims to create straightforward, goal-focused sessions. She uses what fits each person’s needs and checks in on progress as therapy continues. To begin, visitors are asked to use the platform’s matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens to how a client describes their life and follows that material to set goals. This method helps when someone wants their concerns understood and reflected back before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior experiments to test new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with anger, self-esteem struggles, and high emotional reactivity by teaching grounding, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they choose which methods to try and revisit the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
