About Anita
Anita Silber Jrade is a licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, mood concerns, and the stress of life transitions. Anita speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on tools people can use between meetings. Anita often helps clients improve communication, manage anxiety or depression, and make choices that match their values.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience helping people through workplace issues, divorce and separation, grief, and identity questions. She also supports those coping with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and bipolar mood concerns. Parenting is one of the areas she addresses with parents who need guidance around family challenges.
Anita combines listening with structured strategies. She draws on Client-Centered methods to understand each person’s perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused techniques to set and reach practical goals.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Anita aims to help people build self-love, restore healthier patterns, and find direction. Her bilingual skills help when cultural context matters, and her long experience offers steady support through change.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's viewpoint and building a trusting, respectful space. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to explore choices without judgment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking by teaching practical skills to change patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps toward goals. This approach is useful when someone wants concrete progress in areas like communication, parenting strategies, or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what isn't.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it simpler to add therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
