About Blair

Blair Suppes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people facing anxiety, depression, and life stress. She emphasizes listening first and creating a space where clients feel understood. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can change daily routines and relationships.

Blair draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable habits.

Background and approach

Solution-Focused Therapy guides shorter-term planning so people can try concrete strategies between sessions. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anger, grief, parenting struggles, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also helps with trauma and abuse recovery, relationship issues, and self-esteem work.

ADHD, panic, phobias, and social anxiety are part of her scope as well. Blair brings eleven years of clinical experience to each appointment. Her approach is direct and practical while remaining warm and patient.

She encourages clients to set realistic goals and tracks progress in everyday life. Sessions are offered online through multiple formats. People can expect a mix of listening, skill teaching, and short action steps to try outside of sessions.

The aim is steady improvement that fits into a busy life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people name what matters most in daily life. This approach is useful when someone needs understanding and a steady place to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change worrying thoughts and unhelpful behaviors. Sessions include simple exercises and homework to practice new habits that reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. CBT is often chosen when people want clear tools they can use between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to immediate goals and small steps that bring quick relief. It’s goal-driven and works well when someone wants short-term, actionable plans to solve specific problems.

Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging provide check-ins or brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and apply new skills in real life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
