About Blake

Blake Armstrong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who provides compassionate, affirming therapy for individuals and couples navigating grief, relationship challenges, neurodiversity-related concerns, and life stressors. Blake brings a wide range of clinical experience from private practice, drug rehabilitation settings, and therapy intensives, allowing him to meet clients with flexibility, creativity, and depth.

Blake is dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive environment where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered as they work toward personal growth, emotional balance, and meaningful connection.

Who Blake Works With

Blake supports clients who may be:

• Coping with grief and loss

• Seeking couples therapy to strengthen communication and trust

• Navigating relationship challenges or life transitions

• Individuals with autism or neurodivergent identities seeking affirming care

• LGBTQ+ individuals looking for inclusive, identity-affirming therapy

• Clients experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or loneliness

• Individuals who benefit from creative or experiential therapy approaches

He works collaboratively with clients to tailor therapy to each person’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Therapeutic Approach

Blake integrates evidence-based and experiential approaches to therapy, combining structure with creativity to support emotional insight and practical change. His work includes:

• Gottman Method–informed couples therapy to improve communication, conflict management, and connection

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought and behavior patterns

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-based living

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and coping

Blake values flexibility in therapy and adapts sessions to fit each client’s learning style, interests, and comfort level.

Therapeutic Game Master & Experiential Therapy

Blake is trained as a Therapeutic Game Master, integrating tabletop role-playing games—such as Dungeons & Dragons—into the therapeutic process. Through cooperative storytelling, problem-solving, and emotional world-building, clients can work toward therapeutic goals in a creative, engaging, and relational setting.

This experiential approach can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, social isolation, or loneliness, as well as those who benefit from non-traditional or hands-on therapy formats. Role-playing therapy allows clients to explore emotions, practice communication, build confidence, and develop coping skills in ways that feel accessible and meaningful.

Blake is currently developing tabletop role-playing therapy groups, with offerings expected to launch later this year.

Neurodiversity & LGBTQ+ Affirming Care

Blake has specialized training in working with individuals on the autism spectrum and those who identify as neurodivergent. His approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and respectful of each client’s lived experience.

As an LGBTQ+ ally and member of the community, Blake is committed to providing affirming care that honors identity, autonomy, and personal values.

Therapy Dog Support

Blake’s therapy dog, Blue, joins sessions when appropriate, offering an added layer of comfort, grounding, and emotional support. Blue’s presence can be especially helpful for clients navigating grief, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm.

What Clients Can Expect

Clients working with Blake can expect a therapist who is:

• Warm, affirming, and inclusive

• Creative and flexible in approach

• Grounded in evidence-based care

• Collaborative and client-centered

Blake works alongside clients to help them build resilience, insight, and meaningful change in a way that feels supportive and engaging.
