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, low self-esteem, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and the kinds of losses that leave people feeling isolated or overwhelmed.
She has experience supporting people through major life changes, including transitions out of military service and caregiving stress. She also works with issues related to aging, cancer, dependent personality patterns, and the practical fallout from divorce or domestic violence. Codependency is one of the areas she lists among her focuses.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That means conversations are grounded in the client’s goals and real-life problems, with steps you can try between meetings.
She pays attention to how grief shows up, including losses tied to relationship abuse such as romance scams. She talks clients through mourning and the everyday feelings that follow, like shame, loneliness, and hesitation about trusting again.
Her approach is direct and goal-oriented. Expect to talk about what you want to change, try small experiments, and check progress each session. People who prefer straightforward guidance and problem-solving tend to do well with her style.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Dr. Blanding uses client-centered therapy to focus on what matters to the individual, listening and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. This approach helps when someone wants a therapist to follow their lead and address the problems they bring up most urgently.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into practical steps. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck, allowing clients to try specific strategies between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide whether a more exploratory client-centered focus or a structured CBT plan fits their goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively, based on current needs and what the client hopes to change.
Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on practical ways to bring therapeutic tools into daily life rather than on reinventing routines.
