Background and approach

Blaise uses straightforward, practical techniques to address thinking patterns and daily habits that keep problems going. He also draws on motivational work to help people find readiness for change and stay committed to it. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Many clients come in for help with substance use and process addictions like gambling or pornography. Others seek support for mood problems, obsessive thinking, or relationship and communication struggles. Blaise pays attention to how shame, guilt, and money stress show up in a person’s life.

He explains options plainly and adjusts the pace to fit each person. The goal is steady progress toward better coping, healthier routines, and more confidence. Starting therapy is framed as a practical decision, and Blaise works alongside clients as they try new ways of handling old problems.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy begins with the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping to build trust and confidence in the process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on increasing a person’s readiness to change by exploring values and ambivalence in a nonjudgmental way.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Blaise works collaboratively to figure out which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He may blend techniques so sessions feel practical and tailored rather than rigid or one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face when schedules permit. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging supports quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, family, and daily life.
