About Anita
Anita Silber Jrade is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 24 years of experience. She uses a person-focused approach to help people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She blends practical strategies with attentive listening.
Sessions focus on clearer communication, managing stress, and rebuilding confidence. Anita helps people set small, realistic goals and practices skills between meetings. Her work often addresses family conflict, parenting strain, workplace problems, and issues that come from divorce or separation.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, mood concerns, and questions about sexuality and identity. Anita uses cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused methods to find quick, concrete steps forward. The person-centered side of her practice emphasizes the client’s own values and strengths when planning change.
She works in both English and Spanish, which helps her connect with a broader range of clients across cultural backgrounds. Anita aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and practice change. People who come for help are usually looking for ways to handle stress, improve intimacy, or move through life changes more smoothly.
Anita supports that work with straightforward tools, steady encouragement, and attention to each person’s goals.
How Anita’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them clarify values and goals, which is useful for issues like self-esteem and life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or mood symptoms through structured exercises and homework.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps. It helps people identify immediate changes that move them toward their goals, which can be helpful for stress, communication problems, and decision points.
Choosing the right approach can take time. Anita will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and comfort with different techniques. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what is actually working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit around busy schedules, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and text lets people message between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
