About Blythe
Blythe Steingel is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, career stress, and effects of trauma and abuse. Blythe emphasizes practical steps so people feel steadier day to day.
With 19 years of experience, Blythe uses straightforward, person-focused work. Sessions aim to clarify goals, build coping strategies, and strengthen communication. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to encourage change and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shift unhelpful patterns.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them pick small, doable steps. Therapy often includes skill practice, values clarification, and checking what’s working between sessions.
Blythe also brings approaches from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when they fit the situation. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing mindful awareness, or using reflective listening to sort out difficult feelings.
People who work with Blythe can expect clear explanations and simple tools to use in everyday life. She focuses on helping clients find options and make choices that line up with their goals. To start, she asks about the immediate problem and what progress would look like in a few weeks.

How Blythe's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts confidence to take action. It uses open questions and reflective listening to draw out personal motivation and set clear next steps.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and flexible action. It helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then commit to behaviors that match what matters to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It often includes brief exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Blythe will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and they adjust the plan as progress is noticed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Many of the techniques Blythe uses translate well to remote sessions, including values work, skill practice, and motivational conversations, so people can continue useful therapy even when schedules are tight. -
