About Saskia
Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues related to family and relationships, including blended family dynamics and LGBTQI concerns. She also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.
Her background includes work across residential, in-home, addictions, and outpatient settings. That variety means she has experience with different treatment environments and with people at different stages of recovery or transition. She brings practical focus to sessions and draws on multiple therapy styles to fit the situation.
In sessions she uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, and motivational interviewing to support change. Conversations aim to identify what is most useful right now and to build simple skills for handling stress and strong emotions.
Saskia tends to focus on concrete goals - managing anxiety, reducing substance use, improving sleep, or resolving family communication problems. She works with people on processing trauma and abuse, and on navigating relationship and identity concerns common in early adulthood.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own perspective. It involves open conversation, reflective listening, and building goals that matter to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues and coping with life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. It is useful for managing strong emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saskia will help the client and therapist decide together which methods best match goals, needs and personal preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
