Anthia Casanova , LMHC

Anthia Casanova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 16 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with clients facing stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ-related concerns, self-esteem and confidence struggles, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and mood disorders. Her approach emphasizes the strengths each client brings to their story and the practical steps that lead to meaningful change.

Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, she centers the client as the expert of their own life and partners with them to build on existing resources and resilience. Anthia encourages clients to recognize their capacities for growth and to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances empathy with clear, actionable strategies.

Anthia integrates several therapeutic methods to meet individual needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing. As an LMHC she draws on these approaches to tailor care for concerns such as panic, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes. She is accepting clients, including international clients, and aims to create an empowering environment where clients can pursue lasting improvements.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Anthia Casanova

Anthia uses client-centered therapy to place the client's perspective at the heart of treatment - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and helping people build self-understanding so they can strengthen self-esteem and make values-driven choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for impulsivity, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Anthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and goal-focused.

Online therapy with Anthia can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Working with licensed professionals in an online format can offer flexibility and accessibility while preserving the collaborative, skill-building work of therapy.
