About Howard

Dr. Howard Chusid is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, mood swings, and relationship strain. He also addresses practical struggles such as career decisions, caregiver stress, and money and financial issues.

Dr. Chusid emphasizes short, focused conversations that point toward change. He commonly uses Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions and blends techniques to match each person’s needs. Sessions aim to build skills people can use day to day.

His background includes work with medically ill patients and experience managing large teams in business. That mix of clinical and real-world experience shapes a straightforward, problem-solving style. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where people learn to guide their own change.

People who reach out can expect practical steps and clear goals. Dr. Chusid helps sort immediate problems like sleep, anger, or substance use while also addressing longer-term concerns such as grief, trauma, or workplace stress. He supports clients navigating divorce, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Dr. Chusid frequently uses Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Solution Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and quick goal setting to build momentum. It often helps with specific problems like sleep, work stress, or relationship conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and mood interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative discussion helps tailor tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, or brief goal-focused homework so they fit into a client's life.

The practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting care into everyday routines. Many people find that remote sessions can be easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or health appointments and can reduce travel time. If you want to know which session formats are available, confirm current options before booking since the biography does not list them. A clear first appointment will cover goals, a plan for follow-up, and what format will work best for you.
