About Charlotte

Dr. Charlotte Blanding offers care for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, anger, career crossroads, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She brings 15 years of clinical experience as a Florida licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC MH17180), and she frames therapy around practical support and gradual steps toward change. Her practice also attends to aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related stress, caregiver burden, codependency, communication and control difficulties, and issues like isolation, life purpose, midlife crisis, and veteran-related matters.

Her work is informed by structured, evidence-informed methods alongside a patient-centered stance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, Motivational Interviewing to foster internal motivation for change, and Solution-Focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace that values their goals and readiness to act. Located in Florida and conducting sessions in English, she offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs, inviting people to begin when they feel prepared to take that first step toward healing.

Approaches and Online Care That Focus on Practical Change

Dr. Blanding uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also brings a client-centered orientation that prioritizes empathy, active listening, and aligning the work with each person's values and goals. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people resolve ambivalence and strengthen commitment when change feels difficult.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Blanding works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so that therapy remains relevant and action-oriented while honoring each client's pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain momentum between sessions through messaging options.
