About Blaise

Blaise Rastello helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on guiding people through difficult emotions and building practical skills to feel steadier day to day. Blaise brings calm, direct support and respects each person’s pace and story.

He uses a conversational, person-centered way of working that lets clients lead the conversation while he listens and reflects. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Blaise has ten years of professional experience and holds social work credentials in Colorado and California as a licensed clinical social worker. He adapts sessions to fit what each person needs, whether that means short-term problem work or longer conversations about life patterns.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps - small changes that add up - and on building skills for coping with cravings, overwhelming feelings, or persistent worries. He also helps people address issues like codependency, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and financial stress. Conversations are respectful and free of judgment.

Blaise aims to help people feel more able to manage daily stressors and take clearer steps toward their goals.

Online support

How Blaise’s Methods Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering reflection and support to help someone clarify goals and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses specific exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.

Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is mixed or change feels difficult. It uses respectful questions and guidance to help someone weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Blaise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or days when a shorter touchpoint helps keep momentum.
