About Sahntanyna
Sahntanyna Blackwell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She practices from New Jersey and draws on a warm, collaborative style to help people facing relationship challenges and intense emotions. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, anger, grief, addiction, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, and attention-related struggles.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment patterns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control problems.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic ideas. She uses practical conversation and goal-focused techniques to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when motivation and short-term change are priorities.
Sessions are aimed at improving communication, rebuilding trust, tackling intimacy-related concerns, and supporting self-esteem and confidence. She also helps with divorce and separation issues, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. People who choose her can expect a respectful, sensitive tone and a plan tailored to their situation.
The work is collaborative: goals are set together and revised as progress unfolds. She encourages practical steps that fit everyday life. Her credentials are LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor).
She offers services in English for adults in New Jersey and combines experience with a straightforward, supportive style.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you find your own solutions; this approach supports work on self-esteem, intimacy, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It uses clear, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anger, depression, and anxiety.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost readiness for change. It uses open questions and reflection to uncover personal reasons for change, which is useful for addictions, low motivation, or when making big life adjustments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose methods that fit goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together and adjusted as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy days, maintain momentum between appointments, and keep therapy consistent when schedules change.
