About Dr. Carli Blau
The space between knowing and doing is where she works.
Psychotherapist. Sex therapist. Educator. Speaker. Founder of The Blau Method™.
Dr. Carli Blau, PhD, MEd, LCSW, explores why people who understand themselves still struggle to change—and what actually helps them behave differently. Her work spans private practice, clinical education, speaking, media and her forthcoming book, How Dare You.
“Insight is not the same thing as change.”
Dr. Carli Blau has spent more than a decade in the room with people who understand themselves remarkably well—and still can't do what they know they want to do. They know why they choose the wrong partner, why desire disappeared, why the same fight keeps happening. The knowing isn't the problem. The doing is.
That gap became the center of her work. Grounded in sex therapy, couples work and differentiation theory, she developed The Blau Method™: a structured approach to turning awareness into behavior that actually changes.
Today she brings that work to clients, to clinicians, to audiences and to readers—as a psychotherapist and sex therapist, the founder of Boutique Psychotherapy, a speaker and the author of the forthcoming book How Dare You.
