About Bette
Bette Blondin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of clinical experience. She practices in Arizona and brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and doable for worried parents and adults.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem issues. Relationship and intimacy-related concerns are also part of her work, along with coping with life changes, parenting struggles, and anger.
How Bette works
She has a broad clinical range that includes trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue. Bette uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She applies client-centered principles to keep the person’s goals central.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on emotionally-focused strategies, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy when those fit the situation. In sessions she listens first, then helps break problems into manageable steps.
She looks for practical tools parents can use between appointments. Bette emphasizes building on strengths and setting realistic, short-term goals so small gains add up. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University and licensure as an LCSW in Arizona and Arkansas.
She offers talks through feelings, coaching on next steps, and steady support while people work toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps clarify what matters most so people can make steady progress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete techniques to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stressful life changes.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust the approach as progress is made. Together they decide what feels most helpful rather than sticking to one single method.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls replicate face-to-face conversations when a fuller interaction is preferred. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging offer flexible, quick ways to share thoughts between sessions or to use when messaging fits a daily routine.
