Anthia Casanova

Anthia Casanova is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people who are stressed, struggling with anxiety, managing anger, coping with mood disorders, or facing life changes. Anthia also supports those dealing with addiction, LGBT concerns, relationship and self-esteem issues, and grief.

Her style centers on treating each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps and building strengths rather than labels. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, usable goals and small steps toward them.

Anthia uses methods that help people change patterns and manage intense emotions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts. She also uses dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who want help finding motivation and making forward progress. Client-centered ways of working keep the pace and priorities tied to each person's needs.

In sessions clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and practical tools to try between meetings. Anthia aims to make progress feel doable and tailored to everyday life.,

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are; online sessions let clients set the pace while the therapist reflects and helps clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete exercises to try between meetings, which can be reviewed during virtual sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced and discussed in remote appointments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and what feels most useful. They adjust the plan as progress is made and as priorities change.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between meetings and review results together, making practical skill building easier to maintain.
