About Anthia
Anthia Casanova is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She supports those coping with addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity. Anthia also addresses grief, trauma, anger, and the daily strains that erode self-esteem and motivation.
Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance that fits their goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical, straightforward, and focused on real changes that matter day to day. Anthia uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. She helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and practice new skills between sessions.
The work often includes communication tools and emotion regulation tactics tailored to what the client needs right now. Clients often bring concerns about relationships, parenting pressures, abandonment or attachment wounds, and trouble with impulsivity or control. Anthia addresses these with clear steps and encouragement rather than abstract theory.
She emphasizes building self-compassion, improving communication, and regaining a sense of purpose. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Anthia welcomes people who are ready to take practical steps toward feeling more steady, confident, and in charge of their life choices.

How Anthia’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. It means Anthia listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try tools, adjust what isn’t working, and keep what helps the most until progress feels real and manageable.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins, homework guidance, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions. These options help people keep consistent momentum while fitting therapy into busy lives.
