Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Dr. Blankenship commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients set their own goals so progress feels personally meaningful.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations and to reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches also suit different practical needs, and she will discuss what fits best for each person.
