About Lauryn
Lauryn Blanding is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, and life changes. She also supports concerns such as parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, and bipolar mood challenges.
Lauryn aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and listens closely as people describe what feels hard. She uses that relationship to help clients name feelings and identify practical next steps. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and finding clearer ways to make decisions.
Her background includes work with adolescents, young adults, and couples and families, where she helps address relational patterns and peer or family conflicts. She integrates several approaches in her work rather than using a single method alone. Those methods include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques.
In sessions she helps clients notice attachment patterns, address control and commitment concerns, and work through guilt, shame, or isolation. She also supports first responder stress and caregiver strain. Conversations include skills practice, behavioral experiments, and emotion-focused dialogue to change recurring patterns.
People who reach out should expect straightforward conversation about goals and small, practical steps between sessions. To begin, visitors follow the site's intake flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How Lauryn blends EFT, ACT and CBT for online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions and attachment patterns that keep repeating in relationships. It is useful when strong feelings or unclear needs get in the way of closeness or communication.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing values-based actions. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or low mood make it hard to move toward meaningful goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces practical experiments to test different ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauryn will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means mixing emotion-focused conversation with skills practice and behavioral steps based on what the client needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to have short check-ins during a work break. When choosing a format, consider factors like whether you prefer to be on camera, need a shorter phone check-in, or want a longer video session for in-depth conversation.
