About Saskia
Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction concerns, family conflict, and issues related to identity and relationships. Saskia also lists anger and sleep problems among her clinical focuses.
Her background spans residential care, in-home services, addictions treatment, and outpatient programs. That variety shows up in how she structures sessions - practical, direct, and informed by many settings. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method, and adapts what she does to the presenting concern.
Saskia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques can come into play for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills.
She also incorporates elements of Motivational Interviewing when change feels stalled, and existential ideas when clients want to examine values and purpose. In practice this means sessions include problem-solving, skill practice, and straightforward reflection rather than abstract theory.
Saskia aims to motivate change and reduce distress through focused work on daily problems and relationships. People who are frustrated by recurring arguments, rising resentment, or trouble sleeping may find the sessions practical and action oriented. She offers help in English for adults living in Florida.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Saskia commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. DBT offers concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating intense emotions, and improving communication.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This keeps sessions focused on real-world changes like reducing outbursts, lowering daily tension, or improving sleep routines.
Please confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into work breaks, avoid travel time, or pick a shorter check-in when needed. The therapist can help arrange the practical details so therapy fits into everyday life and supports steady progress.
