About Saskia
Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and other family-related concerns.
Saskia has worked in residential programs, in-home care, addiction services, and outpatient settings. That range means she has seen many practical problems that appear at home. She draws on that background when helping people sort through family conflict, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress.
Her clinical style combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses motivational interviewing and existential and narrative ideas, depending on what the person needs. Sessions often focus on concrete skills such as communication, emotion regulation, and changing harmful patterns.
Saskia pays attention to how past wounds affect current relationships. She helps people address attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports those coping with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
People who see her can expect straightforward conversation and practical next steps. She aims to build momentum through small changes and clearer decision making. To begin, people complete the intake steps and schedule a first session to see if the approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work can fit home life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. It is useful for sorting through family tensions and deciding what matters most in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and daily life. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change, moving from skill-building to deeper reflection when appropriate.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, shorten a check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use phone-only conversations if preferred, or keep visits brief around work or childcare obligations. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable alongside everyday responsibilities.
