More about Sean

  • LMHC, LCPC

Hi there! Reaching out for help takes courage. I am glad you are here! My name is Sean Blade. I am a clinical mental health counselor licensed in Florida and Maryland. I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida International University. I have spent much of my career, to this point, working with a highly diverse population, including BIPOC, immigrants, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

My approach to counseling is a combination of Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. However, I never stray far away from the ultimate goal of healing your heart. I believe that the relationship I build with those I work with is the most important factor to growth. I bring with me a unique and unusually wide-ranging array of personal experiences that allow me to connect with others in a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic way. I am honored when people choose to share their pain with me and allow me to walk with them on their journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sean Blade is one of the most supportive and compassionate people I've ever met. His ability to listen with care and validate my emotions without judgment is something I've never found in a therapist before Sean. He has helped me work through so many areas of my life that needed my attention and acceptance. His expertise has been so helpful in guiding me to find answers and support for some of the most difficult things have happened and are happening in my life. The tools provided to me by Sean have helped me navigate the whirlwind of emotions I feel on a daily basis. I'm beyond grateful for Sean and cannot recommend him enough to anyone who is struggling and in need of support.

Sean is the best therapist I've worked with; I'm very appreciative to Betterhelp for such a well-laid out pairing system that was spot on the first try. Sean has been a significant part of my processing and growth over the past few months with the many many changes and pivots in my world right now. He is fully engaged, attentive, and empathetic and meets me where I am emotionally that day. He does a great job allowing for the uncomfortable & the sad while also helping to navigate through anger & confusion when necessary. He is a true gift.

Sean’s the best! He listens, dives deep into how you, challenges you to think differently, and provides different perspectives than your own. He doesn’t try to force a solution to fix, but helps you try to understand why you may feel what you feel. Highly recommend Sean!

Reviewed February 2022

Sean has a keen sense while being an excellent listener-he remembers details about my world I forget I’ve shared, providing insight and validation which is my main purpose here, I need one to testify back to me how I am doing through my tough trial at this time, he understands me more than any other therapist has, which speaks volumes, I have not had to once remind him of anything about me-the attitude he brings each time is most valuable, and this is truly a gift to me at this time that is priceless-the weight of its effectiveness has been a tremendous help. I don’t need any other type of therapy more-I am very grateful for Betterhelp for connecting me to one that gets me and can truly be of real assistance. And I tell everyone about the discount, during these challenges it is a tremendous help as well!! Sean is seriously the best counsel I’ve had to date. Amazing!

I like that Sean addresses me by my name and I only had to pronounce my name once. His smile is always welcoming, I'm comfortable sharing with him. In my first session, he knew exactly what I was struggling with and he assigned me homework. He provides great feedback. I'm glad I was matched with him :).

My counseling with Sean so far has been exactly what I needed, and have shared that with my doctors team-everyone wanted a copy of the link I gave, they have patients looking for a reliable source for required counseling and all expressed their enthusiasm to hear such an excellent recommendation. Excited to add this to the list of choices they give to their medical patients. I cannot find enough words to say what having this alternative service allows me, I am definitely satisfied and deeply grateful for the accessibility and privacy it gives one- that is huge. Most excellent work Sean and Betterhelp team!
