Blanche Sumner was so patient with me and understanding. I felt embarrassed to reach out, but I am so glad that I did. I was so nervous to explain all of my issues I am dealing with, and by the end of our session I felt much more relaxed and she gave me tools and worksheets to work on. She is very empathetic and understanding, and non judgemental. I am so happy they paired her with me for counseling.

More about Blanche
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 9+ years of experience working predominately with Indigenous people and adolescents to transitional age adults. I have specialized experience with grief, shame, LGBTQIA2S+ related concerns, and trauma; along with many other topics my clients wanted to work on. I feel that awareness of your internal world is important to then take back control. I believe in mutual respect, meeting you emotionally where you are, supporting your treatment goals, and cheerleading your progress on your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
