About Anthia

Anthia Casanova is a Florida LMHC with 16 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, self-esteem concerns, and motivation. She also helps with parenting stresses, grief, trauma and mood concerns.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She treats clients as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than labels.

Anthia draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client's goals and perspective, and she incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills.

People often come for help with communication problems, attachment or abandonment worries, impulsivity, and anger. She also supports those coping with ADHD, panic, post-traumatic stress, and issues around sexuality and identity. Career strain, compassion fatigue, and loneliness are other common topics.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions typically include goal-setting, skills practice, and review of what worked between meetings. Prospective clients who want to begin should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's steps to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and prioritizing the client's goals. In practice that means sessions start by asking what matters most and shaping work around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought records, and step-by-step plans to address anxiety, low mood, or compulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Anthia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques that make sense for everyday life. She adjusts methods if something isn't working and checks in about progress as part of the plan.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. If you need to coordinate sessions around childcare, work breaks, or differing schedules, discuss options during the matching and scheduling steps.
