Anthia Casanova

Anthia Casanova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 16 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, and substance use challenges. She supports those navigating LGBTQ issues, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem. Anthia believes people know their story best and brings a calm, encouraging presence to sessions.

She centers the conversation on each person’s goals and strengths. Anthia uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also draws on client-centered techniques to listen closely and follow what matters most to the client.

When emotions feel overwhelming, Anthia uses parts of dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions. Motivational interviewing helps people find the reasons they want change and take steady steps toward it. Sessions mix skill practice, problem solving, and honest conversation.

Anthia works with people who face mood disorders such as bipolar conditions, panic, and social anxiety. She also helps those dealing with attachment and abandonment wounds, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and the search for life purpose. Her approach is practical, steady, and respectful of each person’s pace.

To begin, she asks about what matters most and creates a plan that fits daily life. People leave sessions with small, usable steps and clearer next moves for work, relationships, and wellbeing.

How Anthia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions can recreate that attentive, person-led conversation so the therapist can hear goals and concerns and reflect them back in simple language.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions Anthia can teach thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step coping plans that fit into daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on one way. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you prefer online care, confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can more easily fit appointments into work or family schedules, shorten commute time, or choose a quieter time of day. Remote sessions also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples into conversation.
