About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 33 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She sees concerns like panic attacks, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and problems with sleep and anger. She also supports people facing career pressures, relationship and intimacy questions, and struggles with compassion fatigue or ADHD.
Lynn uses plain, practical language in sessions so people can understand next steps.
Background and approach
She listens first to what matters most and then helps build tools that fit each person's life. Sessions focus on real situations, useful skills, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Those methods are used to increase awareness, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and clarify values that guide action. Lynn matches techniques to what the person needs and prefers. People meet her for both short-term problem solving and longer work on identity, purpose, or patterns that keep repeating.
She pays attention to communication difficulties, divorce or separation stress, guilt and shame, and the loneliness that can follow big life shifts. Lynn describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set goals, practice new skills between sessions, and notice small changes that add up over time.
Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
How Lynn’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and understanding; it helps people feel heard and build confidence to explore new ways of living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like panic and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lynn works together with each person to see which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made so treatment stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
