About Lauryn
Lauryn Blanding is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. She brings a calm, compassionate presence and aims to make it easier to talk about painful topics.
Lauryn centers the conversation on what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try practical skills to manage emotions and behavior.
How Lauryn works
Sessions often include grounded, doable steps rather than complex jargon or long homework assignments. Her approach includes therapies that help people notice thoughts and feelings, build stronger emotional connections, and practice new ways of responding. Lauryn adapts tools from cognitive and mindfulness-based work to match each person’s goals.
She also uses emotion-focused strategies when relationship concerns are part of the picture. Clients bring many different problems, such as parenting strain, grief, career stress, intimacy issues, and anger or impulsivity. Lauryn also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment wounds, guilt and shame, and separation or divorce.
She helps clients name what is getting in the way and take small, steady steps toward change. Sessions are available in English and are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first visit according to therapist availability.

How Lauryn’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where people want more direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing specific changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauryn works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what helps. She encourages people to try techniques in between sessions and review what works and what needs changing.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through relationship or emotional material interactively. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing support between visits and can fit into busy days, caregiving schedules, or work breaks. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to daily life.
