Dr. Charlotte Blanding

Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 15 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and anger. She aims to make the first step simple and clear so people can begin the work right away.

Her approach is practical and focused on the problems people face now. She listens without judgment and helps clients name difficult feelings, including loneliness and isolation. She guides people through grief, coping skills, and steps to rebuild a sense of control and purpose.

Over the years she has supported people through life changes, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, and challenges that follow separation or divorce. She also addresses compulsive behaviors and codependency, and helps people who are struggling with career transitions or compassion fatigue. The work often includes learning new ways to manage strong emotions like anger.

Clinically she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That means sessions usually focus on clear goals, small practical steps, and looking at thought patterns that keep problems stuck. She encourages clients to practice skills between sessions so progress continues outside the office.

Sessions are offered in English in Florida. Dr. Blanding emphasizes prompt, steady support and invites people to begin by taking the first step toward change.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person where they are. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them name feelings and priorities so progress fits their pace and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and stress over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and use a mix of methods that fit the client’s needs. That choice happens together, not imposed in the first session.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can save travel time and help people keep regular appointments during work or caregiving changes. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and can pick what fits your schedule and comfort.
