Anita Silber Jrade, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Anita

Anita Silber Jrade is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 24 years of experience. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, focused on small steps that make daily life feel more manageable for parents and families.

She helps clients work on communication, self-esteem, and rebuilding life after big changes like divorce or workplace shifts.

Background and approach

Anita draws on tools from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle, with clear strategies to try between meetings. Anita also brings a trauma-informed perspective when past hurts affect current relationships.

That means she pays attention to safety, pacing, and coping skills while addressing deeper patterns. She aims to help people feel steadier and more connected to themselves and others. Fluent in English and Spanish, she can speak with clients in either language.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including parenting, family issues, grief, sexual identity and intimacy-related topics. The goal is to make change practical and achievable, not overwhelming. New clients begin with a short matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their lives.

Anita emphasizes collaboration so families and individuals leave with clearer tools and a plan for the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and space to sort out feelings before taking action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT is useful for parents and individuals who want concrete tools to manage day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online work makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer flexibility, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while juggling family and work commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
