About Bette

Bette Blondin begins from a long clinical path, bringing 28 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She practices from Arizona and holds licensure noted as AZ LCSW LCSW-15847 and AR LCSW 8607-C.

Background and approach

Her training blends formal social work education with an eclectic set of therapeutic tools, and she draws on that background to support people facing life transitions, mood concerns, and relationship challenges. Bette emphasizes a mindful, down-to-earth style that balances practical strategies with empathic listening.

She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused methods, hypnotherapy elements, and mindfulness practices to meet each person where they are. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, parenting and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual abuse issues, and caregiving stress among many others.

She has worked with clients of varied ages and backgrounds and aims to be nonjudgmental and encouraging as people sort through obstacles and strengthen their coping skills. Her work is collaborative: she partners with people to identify strengths, break problems into manageable steps, and build routines that support better functioning.

Prospective clients in Arizona can expect an experienced clinician who combines practical interventions with warmth and humor to help them move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Bette frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based work to address patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, and stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, more adaptive behaviors, while mindfulness practices cultivate present-moment awareness and emotion regulation skills that are useful for coping with overwhelm and trauma.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central. EFT helps people and couples name underlying emotions, improve communication, and create more stable connections, which can ease conflicts and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, making adjustments over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and pace.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the therapist’s service area.
