Saskia Charles, LMHC

Saskia Charles is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and relationship problems. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, sleep difficulties, and issues around identity and sexual orientation.

Saskia's background includes work in residential settings, in-home care, addiction programs, and outpatient clinics. That range means she has seen how problems play out at home and in treatment settings. Her experience includes helping people navigate blended family dynamics and the effects of abuse.

She uses several practical approaches in sessions. Client-Centered methods help people speak about what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and habits that keep stress and anxiety going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.

Saskia describes her overall way of working as eclectic. She focuses on clear goals and on motivating change. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address.

People often come to her for help with codependent patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in a relationship. She checks what a person needs first, then uses practical tools from the approaches above.

To begin, she asks clients to share their priorities and what they want to change. From there she and the client agree on steps forward, including skills practice and talk work between sessions.
