Lauren Blount

Lauren Blount is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She supports those navigating big life changes and young adult concerns. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and grounded.

She favors a whole-person view of care, combining talk therapy with creative and body-based practices. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's pace and perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotional coping tools.

Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and straightforward. Clients are invited to name what feels most urgent, then try practical steps that can fit into daily life. Lauren sometimes brings in mindfulness exercises, expressive arts ideas, and simple movement or breath work as concrete ways to reduce stress.

Her training includes the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She has three years of professional experience and sees people in Florida. Sessions are conducted in English.

People who want help sorting out parenting stress, recovering from past hurts, improving self-worth, or coping with major life transitions may find this approach useful. Lauren works with each person to set realistic goals and to practice small changes between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and accepted while they name goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced between meetings.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life rather than assuming one fixed approach.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also lets people use practices like mindfulness, breathing exercises, or brief skills coaching in the moment, which can help transfer what is learned in sessions into real life.
