Using your clients’ stories in your blog is pretty exploitative.

Apparently, all of this blogger's scenarios are pure fiction:
"I did want to remind you, however, that because of the issue of confidentiality, both the patients and the situations in my blogs are fictionalized. I try to present myself as true to my therapist self as I can possibly be, both in terms of what I imagine I'd be thinking and feeling and in how I imagine I'd actually respond to a real life patient."
I find this almost as distasteful as using actual client stories. Basically, she's making up stories to show how she miraculously helps these poor misguided souls - either by showing them the error of their ways or by making them cry (which seems to be the gold standard in terms of "catharsis").
