Sean has been an absolute blessing in my life. I came to him during one of the most challenging years I’ve faced, and his guidance, empathy, and expertise have truly been life-changing. Sean creates a safe and supportive environment where I felt heard, understood, and encouraged to grow. His ability to gently challenge my perspectives while offering practical tools for healing has been invaluable. He has a way of making difficult conversations feel approachable, and I always left our sessions feeling lighter and more grounded. Sean’s care and dedication are evident in everything he does, and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. If you’re looking for a therapist who is compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I can’t recommend Sean enough.

Sean is a fantastic therapist. He leads me gently to where I need to focus, but will call me on my avoiding strategies as well. He relates in such a friendly manner, yet has a deep understanding of my needs - it’s usually after weeks of work I realize where he was leading me. He also does a wonderful job recognizing and supporting when I solve a challenge or make a breakthrough - a little praise goes so far!

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, 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.

Understanding, caring, professional, competent, compassionate.
Very engaging and supportive
Sean has helped me through so much. He has encouraged me to help myself. He has helped me find the tools I needed to set boundaries, feel better about myself, and cope with the darkest times.
Sean Blade is caring supportive therapist who uses effective two way conversation to get results. He is adaptive to my needs and during our sessions makes me feel like I am a priority and my well being is important.
I have been a patient of Sean's for over 7 months now. I have been with better help.for over a year. Sean is the best therapist I have worked with ever. I have come so far. I have a gotten my voice back, I have learned to love myself for first time. I am in a better place. Thank you Sean and better help.
Sean is everything i've looked for in a professional. He is great, highly recommend!

Sean is a great listener. Really do enjoy talking to him.
Sean is a caring man whom genuinely wants to help people. I’m sad to move on to in person therapy but I’ll always remember my time with him
Sean has been an incredible therapist for me. Equal parts comforting and challenging. I wish I could continue to work with him!
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 very receptive and actually listens to everything before offering any feedback. He is always encouraging and uplifting without being condescending. He challenges you to believe in yourself and what you are capable of in each moment.
Sean is awesome to talk too. He is knowledgeable, makes you think outside the box, and is understanding.
I know I can really count on Sean to listen and provide constructive commentary :)
Sean is awesome. Really do enjoy talking to him.
Sean is a detailed listener. He is always taking notes and asking questions to make sure he understands what you’re saying and can respond correctly. I always feel validated and respected in my sessions with him
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 is a great listener and really takes to heart what you are saying. He offers true feedback in a constructive manner and not a criticizing manner. He is very supportive in helping to build your confidence and self care habits.
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!
Sean has been very helpful, I recommend him fully
He's on point. Great therapy sessions
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 :).
Good guy, down to earth, provides useful advice
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!
Sean is an excellent counselor. As a person working in the mental health field as well, I knew I needed someone to help me along the way. Sean was a great person to talk to and help me understand and process things I have experienced. I felt safe, accepted, listened to, and had a genuine connection.
