About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, and life transitions. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm setting where clients can talk about what feels overwhelming.
She uses straightforward language and practical steps so people can try changes between meetings. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addiction challenges, career concerns, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
Longer-term issues such as aging and caregiver stress are part of her practice as well. Dr. Blanding blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing.
That means she listens first, helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and encourages small, doable changes. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and track progress. Sessions focus on concrete skills like emotion regulation, communication practice, and planning for difficult moments.
For grief and loss she helps people name emotions and develop rituals for mourning. For anger she works on recognizing triggers and choosing responses that match values. She practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English.
People meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started simply requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Blanding often uses client-centered therapy, which starts by listening closely and shaping the work around each person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace and goals of therapy.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. CBT is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and stress by breaking problems into clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan if needed so it stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for teaching skills and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a short update fits a break at work. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into real life.
