About Lauren
Lauren Blount helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard. Lauren is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida.
Her style is warm and practical. Sessions focus on real problems and simple tools people can use between appointments. She draws from client-centered work to make space for each person's experience and from cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
Lauren also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach coping skills for intense emotions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and feelings like guilt or shame that often underlie day-to-day struggles. The goal is steady progress, not instant fixes.
In session she helps people set small, achievable goals and practices skills together. That might look like learning breathing or grounding skills, testing a new way to talk with someone, or trying a short behavior experiment at home. She encourages curiosity about what works and what does not.
With three years of professional experience, Lauren combines practical exercises with a person-centered approach. She aims to support people as they build clearer thinking patterns, stronger coping skills, and a greater sense of self-love and purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist listens deeply; this approach helps people feel understood and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for mood swings, impulsivity, and self-regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with regular check-ins about progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping continuity of care.
