Lauryn Blanding , LPC

She recognizes that life can become difficult and unmanageable at times, and that asking for help may feel challenging. She seeks to offer compassion and empathy as people disclose personal and vulnerable struggles, using a caring therapeutic relationship to walk alongside clients and help them identify and address their current needs.

Whether someone is facing internal stressors such as depression or anxiety, or navigating relational conflicts, she aims to support growth and resilience through each stage of treatment. She has specialized training in Couples and Marriage Therapy and in working with adolescents and their families, and brings experience and a genuine commitment to helping young people cope with depression, anxiety, and peer-related relational issues.

She is also passionate about helping couples and families develop healthier relational patterns. In each case she focuses on understanding the present concerns, strengthening connections, and equipping individuals and families with practical tools to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lauryn Blanding draws on evidence-informed approaches to guide online work with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that move them toward a meaningful life; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for symptoms of depression and anxiety and for coping with everyday challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy - EFT centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can help couples and families strengthen connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration allows the therapist and client to adjust focus and techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, stay connected during life changes, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to provide responsive, goal-oriented support that meets each client's practical circumstances.
