Saskia Charles, LMHC

Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 17 years of experience in mental health settings. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns.

She has worked in residential programs, in-home care, addiction treatment, and outpatient services. That range gives her experience with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and adjustment to life changes. She also has experience with blended family dynamics and LGBT concerns.

Saskia uses an eclectic, client-centered approach. She aims to meet each person where they are, listen closely, and build hope. She combines practical strategies with conversations about values and goals.

In sessions she helps people learn coping skills for anger, sleep problems, grief, and ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses longstanding issues like abandonment, attachment problems, and codependency. Her work includes supporting people through divorce, separation, and blended family stress.

Saskia emphasizes motivation and small steps toward change. She encourages clients to try new ways of handling conflict and to test different coping techniques. People who need guidance with addictions, bipolar mood challenges, or communication issues may find her practical style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Saskia often uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building rapport so a person can talk through what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns. DBT adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue consistent care during life changes while focusing on skills practice, problem solving, and conversations about relationships and coping.
