About Blaise
Blaise Rastello helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers practical support when life feels overwhelming. His tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at people who need clear guidance and steady encouragement.
Blaise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW who has worked in Colorado and California settings for about 10 years. He listens first, and then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings as well as on talking through what matters most to them. He uses straightforward conversations rather than jargon. Blaise combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing.
That means he pays attention to each person’s goals, notices unhelpful thinking patterns, and helps build motivation for change. He also helps with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and addictions including drug, alcohol, sex, and process addictions. Other topics he addresses include fatherhood issues, midlife transitions, money worries, guilt and shame, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.
Blaise aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. He works with people who want practical strategies and steady support while they make changes. The focus is on real steps and clearer direction, not quick fixes.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers supportive feedback, and helps people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behavior patterns and helps people test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building internal reasons to try new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to a person’s life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, short adjustments between sessions, or ongoing support when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, caregiving, or travel.
