A massage therapist in Florida needs a license to practice massage, regardless of the setting. Please follow the link for more information.
If you want to do massage therapy professionally you will need a license. There are different designations in different parts of the country and in different states. You may be a licensed massage therapist (LMT), a certified massage therapist (CMT), a licensed massage and bodywork therapist (LMBT), or just massage therapist.
A masseur is a male practicing massage. A masseuse is a female practicing massage. You might use the term RMT for a Registered Massage Therapist, being registered and licensed in the state(s) where they practice.
If you are a professionally licensed massage therapist, it does not matter what the client gives you permission to do. What is important is your ethics and scope of practice. If you know that it is systemically (whole body) contraindicated, even if it is not contagious, you should not give them a massage.
lmt stands for.... Licensed Massage Therapist :)

If you mean, how they can use them in their practice, to put it simply: THEY CANNOT! That is outside the scope of practice for a massage therapist to recommend and or prescribe anti-anxiety medication, or any medication.
There is no such thing as a massage therapist assistant, at least I never heard of one. I will assume you are referring to a massage therapist that is not yet fully trained and licensed. Depending on your local laws where you live, that may or may not be legal.
Stay within scope of practice and ethics.

No. That is outside the scope of practice for a massage therapist. An open bite is referred to as a malocclusion and should be treated by an Orthodontist.
