About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or big life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Asking for help is the first step she encourages, and she offers steady support as clients begin change.
Charlotte’s background includes long-term clinical experience supporting people through loss and difficult transitions. She has worked with seniors and people facing health challenges, and has supported those recovering from emotional abuse such as romance scams. Her practice pays attention to the common feelings that follow traumatic or isolating events, like shame, loneliness, and difficulty trusting oneself.
In sessions she uses approaches that help clients spot unhelpful thinking, set clear goals, and build coping skills. She combines client-centered listening with practical techniques that people can use between meetings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help clients find direction and take small, manageable steps toward change.
Her work often covers caregiving stress, career strain, relationship problems, and issues tied to aging or serious illness. She also supports people dealing with control issues, addiction-related concerns, and codependency patterns. Charlotte encourages honest conversations about what is not working and what a better life would look like.
People who choose her can expect a straightforward, compassionate approach. She invites clients to begin where they are and to work at a pace that fits their life. If you want to start, she asks that you complete a brief matching questionnaire to connect and schedule a first session.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead; it helps people feel heard while they sort through what matters most and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost motivation and identify small, doable changes when someone feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means talking about what outcomes matter, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan as needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during work breaks or evenings. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, which can help on days when energy or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can work with clients to set a rhythm that fits their schedule and goals.
