About Anita
Anita Silber Jrade is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of practice. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering compassionate, practical guidance. Anita works in English and Spanish and emphasizes clear steps clients can use between sessions.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often start by hearing the client's story, then identifying patterns or thoughts to shift, and setting small, achievable goals.
How Anita works
Anita uses straightforward tools to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress so people can notice real changes week to week. She also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and workplace struggles. For those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, or major life changes, she offers steady support and practical coping strategies.
Anita pays attention to self-esteem, body image, and identity questions including LGBT and women's or men's issues. Parents who want support around parenting, divorce and separation, or family problems can get concrete skills to manage conflict and daily stress. Career and purpose conversations focus on values, choices, and next steps rather than abstract advice.
Anita aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She listens first, then tailors tools and homework to each person. Her style is calm, direct, and solution-minded so people leave sessions with clear options and hope for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches that work with online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel understood before making changes. This approach helps when someone needs to process identity, grief, or relationship concerns and wants a therapist who follows their lead.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, then teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical goals and the strengths someone already has. It can be a good fit for people facing career decisions, life transitions, or specific communication problems who want fast, goal-oriented work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust over time based on what works. Clients can expect to discuss options and agree on a plan together rather than being locked into a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes.
