Saskia Charles

Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She draws on 17 years of work in residential, in-home, addictions, and outpatient settings to help people manage life stressors and emotional struggles.

She commonly supports people coping with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, and adjustment to change. Her work also covers family conflict and blended family dynamics, concerns related to addiction, grief, sleeping problems, and questions around identity and relationships. Coping with life changes is one of the areas she lists as a focus.

Saskia uses an adaptable, person-focused style. She aims to meet people where they are, build hope, and encourage practical steps toward change. Sessions typically involve listening, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning so people can try out new ways of managing difficult feelings and situations.

Her background includes work in several treatment settings, which gives her experience with varied needs and day-to-day challenges. That practical experience informs how she sets realistic goals and pacing in therapy.

People who reach out can expect an approachable clinician who combines supportive listening with concrete strategies. Saskia invites those ready to make changes to start a conversation and see what fits their life and goals.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood first. The therapist focuses on active listening and reflecting concerns back so people feel seen and can decide what to work on next. This approach helps with adjustment, relationship stress, and general life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. In short practical steps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or improve sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and strengthened communication, which can be useful for anger, intense moods, and relationship tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and daily life. That means adjusting pace, trying different strategies, and checking in about what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also lets people continue care with licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult. Ask about session length and format when you schedule so arrangements match your needs.
