About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also helps people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship strain, and career-related stress.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help set clear next steps and short-term goals.
Charlotte has a history of working with clients facing caregiving strain, cancer-related issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and people navigating separation or divorce. She pays attention to feelings of isolation, codependency, control issues, and the specific stress that comes from crises and disasters. Her work includes helping people process grief and mourning after betrayal or loss, including emotional harm from romance scams.
Sessions tend to be straightforward, with a focus on skills people can use between meetings. She helps clients name what’s driving their anger and frustration, build moment-to-moment coping tools, and plan small changes that reduce reactivity. Practical problem solving and brief experiments are common parts of her work.
Dr. Blanding asks for a first step of honest description: what’s happening now and what the client hopes to change. From there she and the client set realistic goals and check progress over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy starts by listening to what the client says is most important. The therapist focuses on understanding the client's experience and adapting the pace and focus to what emerges. This approach helps with anger that comes from feeling unheard or overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In short, clients learn to recognize triggers, test unhelpful thoughts, and try small behavior changes. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and anger management because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.
She treats online work as a collaborative process. Finding the best mix of techniques is part of the first few sessions. The therapist and client review what helps and change tactics if needed, so the plan fits the client's goals and day-to-day life.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting brief check-ins into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter, focused sessions easier to schedule during a lunch break or between appointments. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
