Andrew Blanchard

Andrew Blanchard is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience. He works with adults facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and major life changes. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose.

He focuses on concrete problems such as attachment patterns, blended family issues, and the effects of divorce and separation. He helps people talk through guilt, shame, and family of origin concerns. He also offers guidance for men confronting role expectations and identity shifts.

Andrew describes his perspective as informed by Christian values for clients who want faith-based input. That influence appears in conversations about forgiveness, meaning, and personal values rather than as a separate program. Clients who prefer a secular approach can still expect a practical, conversational style focused on goals and next steps.

Sessions include talking through current struggles, identifying patterns that keep problems repeating, and trying small changes between meetings. He uses straightforward feedback and helps people weigh options when facing life transitions. The aim is to help clients make clearer decisions and manage the practical effects of change.

His experience spans general mental health and relational concerns accumulated over two decades in Florida practice. People contact him when they want direct guidance on parenting choices, relationship repair, trauma recovery, or figuring out what matters next in life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Andrew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and trauma. One approach centers on identifying and changing relational patterns - it looks at how attachment styles and interaction habits shape conflict and connection, and it helps people try different ways of relating. Another approach focuses on trauma recovery by helping people process painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact, with practical tools for managing triggers and distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques match goals, values, and how someone prefers to work. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what feels most important right now.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time so people can meet during a break or between responsibilities. If video is an option, it supports face-to-face conversation; if phone is available, it can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Confirm the available formats with the practice before scheduling so the arrangements suit everyday needs.
