Getting to know Abel Blanco

Hi there, I'm Abel! Hello, my name is Abel Blanco, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) grounded in Fresno, California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Fresno. I work with adults experiencing daily life stressors, depression, anxiety, relational problems, and past trauma. My approach I customize each individual's treatment plan based on their needs. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based, and Trauma-Focused techniques. While utilizing these methods, we can come together to draft our best approach to therapy. My focus I typically work with adults facing daily life stressors, past trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relational problems, PTSD, grief and loss, drug addiction, and anger management. My communication style My communication style is calm, personable, and welcoming. I provide a safe and open place to discuss difficult topics without judgment. This helps create an environment where progress can be achieved. My journey to mental healthcare My journey started approximately 16 years ago when I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Social Work. I have always had a drive to help others since I was young. I have worked in many disciplines such as hospitals, with veterans, dialysis patients, child welfare clients, athletes, and the elderly. Seeing the progress of these populations continues to drive me to do this work. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is working together with the client to draft goals they would like to achieve in therapy. My first session with you In our first session, I will seek to better understand your background and the goals you want to achieve during therapy. The session will also focus on building rapport and planning how we will move forward together.
