About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding greets people who are worn out by stress, grief, anxiety, or big life changes. She is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and uses straightforward, practical help to get someone through hard days.
Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable next step instead of a huge leap. She focuses on what is happening now and what can change soon. In sessions she listens first and then helps people set small, clear goals.
Background and approach
She works with issues such as self-esteem, coping with loss, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, anger, relationship struggles, and career stress. Her background includes 15 years as a therapist and experience supporting people through aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, and caregiver strain.
She also brings experience with codependency, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Dr. Blanding uses well-known methods like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor the plan to each person.
That mix helps people practice new skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and focus on small changes that add up. People who choose her can expect a practical, collaborative approach. She encourages acting on what matters now, helps set realistic steps, and stays focused on progress rather than perfection.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through a variety of formats.
Online approaches that focus on change and coping
Client-centered work begins with letting people describe what matters most and shaping sessions around their priorities; this approach helps when someone needs to be heard and guided at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or shift unhelpful habits and reactions.The choice of approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as progress or new concerns arise. That collaboration helps make sure sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow flexible check-ins during busy days and can make it easier to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines while still working toward meaningful change.
