About Saskia

Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who draws on 17 years of clinical experience to support people navigating stress, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She uses an adaptable, client-centered stance that prioritizes meeting each person where they are and building practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, and ADHD-related struggles. Her background includes work in residential settings, in-home care, addictions treatment, and outpatient programs, which informs a flexible approach to treatment planning and goal setting.

In sessions she blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with motivational interviewing and existential and narrative perspectives to foster insight, resilience, and change. Saskia also attends to family dynamics, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, attachment or abandonment concerns, codependency, and complex presentations including co-morbidity and dissociation.

She emphasizes collaboration, hope, and motivation as central elements of the therapeutic process and welcomes inquiries from prospective clients interested in an individualized, strengths-focused approach.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Saskia often uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the work, and she applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and difficulty managing daily tasks. These methods are applied in straightforward, practical ways to address mood issues, stress, addiction-related concerns, relationship dynamics, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Saskia works with each person to explore what methods feel most helpful, tailoring techniques to match the client's goals, life circumstances, and preferences so that therapy remains relevant and attainable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and allow people to engage from home or other convenient locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives, and they support ongoing skill practice between meetings.
