Anita Silber Jrade

Anita Silber Jrade is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. Anita often supports clients wrestling with career questions and life changes, using straightforward tools to make daily life more manageable.

Her work centers on practical, person-focused therapy that aims to strengthen self-esteem and increase emotional resilience. Clients often talk about communication problems, family conflict, or difficulties with intimacy, and sessions often include steps to improve how they relate to others. Anita also helps people cope with grief, trauma, and mood challenges using approaches tailored to each situation.

Anita combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and set realistic short-term goals. The focus is on small, actionable changes that lead to clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.

She works in both English and Spanish, which can help when cultural context matters to the work. Her background includes supporting people through workplace stress, divorce and separation, parenting strain, and questions about identity and sexuality.

To begin, the site’s Start Therapy button directs a person to a short matching questionnaire and scheduling options. Anita aims to collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Anita uses Client-Centered Therapy to build rapport and understand each person’s perspective. This approach focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel heard and better able to make choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT involves identifying patterns that cause distress and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work when clients want quick, goal-oriented change. This method helps people define small, practical steps and notice early signs of progress toward workplace, relationship, or self-esteem goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anita will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritize. The plan can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. The site’s Start Therapy button begins the process, and it is important to confirm the current session options before booking so the chosen format fits everyday needs.
