Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focused on building skills that clients can use between meetings. The emphasis is on clear tools and steady support rather than jargon. Clients come with concerns like depression, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue.
The therapist helps people sort priorities, set realistic goals, and practice small changes that add up. Work often includes short exercises, skills practice, and check-ins on progress. Dr.
Blankenship aims to empower people to use their own strengths while introducing new strategies. She explains options plainly and helps each person choose what fits their life. The approach is steady, respectful, and goal-focused so people leave sessions with something they can try right away.
People who want a direct, supportive counselor who offers practical steps for anger, coping with life changes, or ongoing stress may find this style helpful. Appointments can be scheduled in ways that fit a busy life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple practices for staying present and moving toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace of work and the counselor reflects and supports their choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review the options with each person and suggest methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about techniques are made together so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of techniques. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and when someone prefers typed communication. These options aim to make it easier to maintain regular contact and practice skills between meetings.
