Anthia Casanova, LMHC

Anthia Casanova is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and challenges around self-esteem and confidence. Anthia also supports people working through relationship concerns, LGBT-related issues, grief, and parenting strains.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings that perspective into sessions. Anthia focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs right now.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and tools from dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to build momentum for change. Anthia tailors methods to the issue at hand rather than following a single script.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations that identify what's getting in the way and what might help next. Anthia talks through skills for managing panic, mood swings, impulsivity, and low motivation. She also addresses communication problems, attachment concerns, and feelings of isolation.

Alongside clinical work she helps people sort life-career decisions and cope with compassion fatigue. Her style is supportive and practical, aiming to build small habits that add up to real change over time.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and priorities. It emphasizes listening, validation, and letting the person's goals lead the work, which helps shape each session no matter the setting.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It teaches practical skills and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and low mood.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. It includes skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving communication when relationships feel strained.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and pace. That choice can evolve as people try techniques and see what helps.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find the flexibility helps them maintain momentum between sessions and practice new skills in their everyday routines.
