About Howard
Dr. Howard Chusid is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience based in Florida. He offers straightforward, practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, anger, and relationship and intimacy challenges.
His work also addresses parenting and family matters alongside issues like sleep problems, self-esteem, and workplace stress. Clients can expect direct conversation and clear steps rather than vague theory.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches shaped by evidence-based practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps people notice patterns of thinking and try small experiments to change them. Solution Focused Therapy looks for strengths and small changes that lead to better days.
In sessions he combines techniques to fit each person’s situation rather than following a rigid script. Howard draws on a wide range of life and professional experience when talking with people. He has worked with medically ill patients and led large organizations, which informs his practical style.
That background helps him talk plainly about problems such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, money or career concerns, and the fallout of divorce or separation. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. He offers multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives.
People who come to him can expect an active, conversational approach focused on small steps and real-life solutions. He aims to help people build tools they can use on their own after therapy.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Dr. Chusid commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related difficulties.He also uses Solution Focused Therapy, which centers on identifying strengths and small changes that make daily life better. This approach can help with relationship and parenting concerns by focusing on what is already working and building from there.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy people. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation, phone sessions let someone connect without video, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule, manage caregiver responsibilities, or maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
