About Anthia

Anthia Casanova is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and challenges related to identity and relationships.

Anthia presents herself as a calm, practical guide for parents and individuals trying to steady life during times of change.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on listening first and building from what already works in a person’s life. Sessions are goal-oriented but flexible. Anthia uses straightforward tools to help manage panic, low mood, and overwhelming stress.

She also offers help with self-esteem, communication problems, and issues around sexuality and LGBT matters. Anthia uses methods rooted in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods translate into hands-on strategies for coping, thinking differently about problems, and staying motivated during recovery.

She explains techniques in simple terms and practices them together with clients in session. Florida is her licensed practice location, and she holds the credential LMHC, Florida license number MH11051. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people across different regions, including international clients.

Anthia emphasizes practical steps parents can try between meetings to make small, steady changes. Her style is supportive and direct. She asks questions, offers clear skills, and checks in on progress.

The focus is on workable strategies to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.

Approaches for online support and practical coping

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and putting the person’s own goals at the center. It helps people feel heard and builds on what they already do well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like panic or depression. Both approaches are useful for stress, mood challenges, and parenting-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust techniques, and prioritize strategies that fit the person’s life and preferences.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to continue care when travel or distance is a factor. Using online formats, the focus stays on practical skills, steady progress, and making therapy accessible for different routines and time zones.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
