About Saskia
Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, family conflict, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, and related issues. Her stated approach is eclectic, using a mix of methods to meet each person's needs and help them move toward change.
Saskia has worked across residential, in-home, addictions, and outpatient settings. That background shapes how she plans sessions and sets goals. She draws from client-centered methods and structured therapies to address coping skills and day-to-day functioning.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical work. She helps people identify patterns, try new skills, and address communication and relationship problems. For addiction and motivation issues she uses motivational interviewing techniques to build readiness for change.
She also uses cognitive behavior strategies to work on thoughts, behaviors, and routines that maintain anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption. Dialectical behavior therapy ideas are applied when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Saskia notes experience with parenting stress, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment and abandonment concerns. She lists work with LGBTQI people and with a range of personality and mood presentations, including bipolar and dissociation.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. People who want straightforward, skill-focused sessions that address concrete problems may find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, collaboration, and working at the client’s pace. It helps when people need a supportive setting to sort out feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which approaches fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions and adjusted as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm available session options before booking so they fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to the online setting to focus on real-life changes.
