About Lauryn
Lauryn Blanding is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Lauryn aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and find clearer steps forward.
Her approach centers on listening first. She prioritizes empathy and practical work to help clients name what’s going on and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions often combine skill practice with reflective conversation so people leave with tools they can use right away. Lauryn uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing on methods that teach acceptance, emotion skills, and ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She regularly helps people with issues like grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, communication problems, and managing mood shifts related to bipolar conditions. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and control struggles, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. When intensity rises, Lauryn works on practical strategies to manage anger, impulsivity, and loneliness alongside longer term goals.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then an appointment is scheduled based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with what matters, which can reduce the power of anxiety and avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people spot patterns of unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practices new skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which tools and methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people read facial cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing check-ins and brief skill practice between appointments, which can help people apply what they learn to daily life.
