Anthia Casanova

Anthia Casanova is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She works with concerns like coping with life changes, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, grief, addiction, and LGBT-related issues. Anthia emphasizes a strengths-based view and encourages clients to build on what already works in their lives.

She sees clients as the experts on their own stories and offers support that fits each person’s goals. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and skills that can be used between meetings. Anthia aims to make the process feel collaborative and respectful rather than prescriptive.

Her approach draws from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. That mix allows her to help with mood and anxiety symptoms, impulse control, coping skills, and motivation for change. She adapts tools to the issue at hand and to the person in front of her.

With 16 years of professional experience and an FL LMHC credential, Anthia brings steady clinical experience to each session. She works in English and accepts international clients, while practicing from Florida. People often come for help with things like panic, trauma, parenting stress, career crossroads, and loneliness.

She encourages anyone curious about therapy to take a small first step. The initial conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on setting clear, achievable next steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following their lead. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviors for anxiety, mood issues, and panic symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It can be useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and building steady coping methods.

Choosing an approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try tools and adjust the plan so it fits everyday life and real concerns.

For online work, confirm the available session formats before booking since those details were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to skills practice and short homework between sessions, which can be helpful when managing stress, mood, or life changes.
