About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Blanding is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and anger concerns, and career-related stress.
Charlotte uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that can change how someone responds to stress and loss.
She has experience supporting people affected by aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiving strain, and codependency. She also helps with communication and control issues, isolation, and midlife questions. Issues related to divorce, domestic violence, and veteran affairs are also within her experience.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That mix is used to set practical goals, try new coping skills, and keep progress measurable.
Charlotte encourages beginning with whatever concern feels most urgent. First sessions typically clarify goals and identify one or two skills to try between meetings. She guides pacing so tasks are doable alongside daily responsibilities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Charlotte integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in brief, structured ways online to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear goals, homework exercises, and brief behavioral experiments that can be done between meetings to track progress.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting on what feels most important to the client. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult and a person needs help resolving mixed feelings and finding their own reasons to act.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend a mix of methods to try. Clients and the therapist reassess and adjust the plan as needed so the approach matches changing needs.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or scheduling around caregiving duties. Different formats also let people try options that suit their energy level, camera comfort, and bandwidth without changing the core, skills-based work.
