About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She draws on 33 years of clinical experience to guide straightforward conversations and practical steps. People come to her for problems like panic attacks, sleep trouble, addiction concerns, and low self-esteem.
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Lynn listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people try out new ways of coping when old patterns get in the way. Lynn uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to shape each plan. That might mean noticing difficult thoughts, testing a new behavior, or reconnecting to personal values.
The goal is to reduce overwhelm and make daily life more manageable. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to career or caregiving stress. People who struggle with shame, isolation, or forgiveness often focus on rebuilding confidence and direction in their lives.
Sessions are offered in English and are shaped to fit each person’s needs. Lynn keeps explanations plain and gives homework that feels doable. Her long experience in Washington informs an approach that is steady, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to find their own solutions and build self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. The process is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as needed based on what helps most.
Online sessions can be provided by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you see facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and quick tools between longer sessions. These options support flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
