About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and supportive so parents can quickly see whether she might fit their needs. She helps people cope after loss and grief, including harm from scams and relationship betrayal. She also works with those facing compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, career stress, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on listening first and then building clear, manageable steps forward. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with goal-focused techniques. That means she follows the person’s lead while offering tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She uses short-term strategies to ease urgent stress and longer-term work for deeper patterns like low self-worth or chronic anxiety. Charlotte brings practical experience from a variety of settings in Florida, including work with seniors and people moving from military to civilian life. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set immediate goals.
Her license is LMHC, which denotes her role as a mental health counselor in Florida. People who choose her often want respectful, plainspoken guidance, not jargon. Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable, whether that means reducing panic, improving sleep, handling caregiving strain, or making a plan for change.
How her approaches work over online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and following their lead. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons to change and builds readiness to take practical steps.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From that conversation they will try an approach or mix techniques and adjust as progress is made. This shared decision making makes sessions more useful and keeps them focused on what matters most to the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days and help keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care while using the therapeutic approaches described above with the same licensed professionals and therapists.
