About Andrew
Andrew Blanchard is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 24 years of experience. He works with adults facing relationship strains, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and major life changes.
His approach centers on clear conversation and steady practical work. He helps people name where guilt or shame show up and explores how those feelings affect relationships and choices. He also looks at attachment patterns and how family of origin or blended family dynamics shape current behavior.
Andrew brings a Christian-informed perspective for clients who want faith to be part of therapy. That means he can integrate beliefs and values into sessions when a client asks for that connection. He does not present faith as a prescription but as one element to consider alongside practical coping strategies.
In sessions he focuses on coping skills, decision points in relationships, and steps people can try between meetings. He supports parents dealing with role strain and blended family issues, and he helps people facing divorce and separation work through practical next steps.
He also spends time on life purpose and men’s issues, offering straightforward conversation about identity, responsibility, and forgiveness. People who bring post-traumatic stress or compassion fatigue concerns can expect work aimed at symptom management and clearer daily functioning.
Before a first session he asks about goals and recent history so meetings are goal-oriented from the start. Sessions aim to be direct, respectful, and geared toward what a person wants to change next.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits them
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can include trauma-focused methods that help people process painful memories and reduce distress. These approaches often use focused storytelling, grounding skills, and gradual exposure to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning for those with post-traumatic stress and abuse histories.Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust, closeness, and conflict. In practice this means noticing interaction patterns, trying new responses in-session, and rehearsing different ways of relating that reduce shame and increase choice.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a client’s goals, history, and preferences and then recommend which techniques to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is observed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Many people find online appointments let them fit therapy into a busy week, make shorter check-ins possible, or avoid travel time. Others choose formats that reduce screen time or allow phone check-ins when bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Talk with the therapist about which practical format fits your schedule and day-to-day life.
