About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, relationship concerns, career questions, and life purpose.
Her practice often focuses on practical steps. She helps people process grief and mourning after losses, including losses related to romance scams and other betrayals. She talks through feelings of loneliness and isolation and helps clients identify what they want to change next.
Charlotte draws on client-centered approaches that prioritize each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help people set small, achievable steps forward.
Her background includes work with veterans, health care workers, women with specialized concerns, and older adults. That experience informs how she helps people manage transitions, such as moving from military to civilian life or adapting after major health events.
Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable work rather than long theory talks. She encourages clients to begin with the issue that feels most urgent and then builds practical strategies. The focus is on what can be done now to reduce stress and find clearer direction.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify what matters most. It is useful when someone needs to sort out values, grief, or life decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or anxiety and teaches concrete skills to shift them. This approach is often used for worry, low mood, and managing reactions to stressful events.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That can mean trying short skill-building exercises, brief solution-focused steps, or deeper client-centered discussion depending on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break or a busy day. They can also allow a shorter check-in when life is hectic or a video conversation when fuller interaction is helpful. Ask about how scheduling and session length can be adapted to fit regular life commitments.
