How Blaise works
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change when motivation feels stuck. Blaise keeps conversations direct and compassionate. He listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals.
Sessions focus on doable skills for everyday challenges like managing mood swings, reducing urges, or repairing communication problems. He has ten years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials, including licensure in Colorado and California.
That experience includes helping people with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions, and sex addiction, along with related issues such as codependency, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Practical matters like money stress, fatherhood concerns, and midlife transitions are part of the work when they come up. Blaise aims to help people build more self-love and steadier emotional balance.
The focus is on what can change now and how to take the next small steps.

How Blaise’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist offers empathy and support while clients guide the pace and topics of sessions, which helps people feel respected and heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It aims to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and compulsive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change. It can be useful when someone feels stuck about addiction, motivation, or big life shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays practical and aligned with what the person needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and text-based messaging works for brief check-ins or quick coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life while using the approaches described above.
