Blancandrea Molina

Blancandrea Molina is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California with five years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps clients cope with grief, build self-esteem, and find motivation to make life changes.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on steps they can try between meetings.

Molina uses methods that include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to support goal-setting and build momentum. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused practices tailored to each person’s pace.

She works with each person to set clear, doable goals and to measure progress over time. Sessions often include talking through current struggles, learning small skills, and troubleshooting barriers to change. Her style is gentle but focused, with attention to practical tools alongside emotional processing.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience, creating space to talk through feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using simple exercises and homework between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons and motivation for change, which can be useful when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video when seeing facial cues is helpful, or choose audio if a quieter, lower-bandwidth option is preferred. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum between meetings.
