Dr. Charlotte Blanding, LMHC

Dr. Charlotte Blanding greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out and helps them take the first steps toward feeling steadier. She is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with about 15 years of experience. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what matters now. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and difficult life changes. She also works with issues related to addiction, anger, career stress, and relationship concerns. When someone is coping with loss or the fallout from romance scams, she invites them to begin with mourning and rebuilding a sense of self-worth. In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help people find practical next steps and stay motivated through change. Her background includes work with veterans, health care workers, adolescents, women’s issues, and seniors. That experience informs how she notices stressors and life transitions. She encourages starting work sooner rather than later and frames asking for help as a courageous step. People considering therapy are guided through a simple intake and matching process to set up sessions that fit their schedules. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her Florida practice. The aim is steady progress through clear goals and practical strategies.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist pays attention to what matters most and adapts pace and tone to the client's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Delivered remotely, CBT can include short exercises, thought tracking, and concrete experiments between appointments to help with anxiety, stress, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use online work to help people practice new skills between sessions and keep momentum during life transitions.
