Anthia Casanova, LMHC

Anthia Casanova is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She also supports people navigating LGBTQ issues, self-esteem and confidence struggles, relationship and communication difficulties, and grief. Anthia emphasizes practical steps and steady encouragement during early conversations.

With 16 years of experience, she draws on several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She brings client-centered listening so people feel heard and respected while they decide goals. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and motivational interviewing strategies when helpful.

Sessions focus on small, achievable changes. Anthia works with clients to set clear goals, try new coping skills, and track what helps in daily life. She frames setbacks as information rather than failure and adjusts plans accordingly.

People who contact her can expect calm, straightforward feedback and an emphasis on practical tools for coping. She values collaboration and invites clients to bring their priorities into each session.

Anthia offers multiple online formats and accepts international clients. Those interested are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions that fit their routine.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Anthia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practice alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or low mood. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where the person’s goals guide the work, allowing pace and focus to come from the client. When helpful, she brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anthia works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative effort and often blends approaches so the plan fits the situation rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn’t feasible. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, practice of tools between sessions, or easier access when a shorter interaction is needed. These options give flexibility in scheduling and in how people prefer to communicate with a therapist.
