Lauren Blount

Lauren Blount is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of professional experience. She is licensed in Florida and South Carolina and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes.

She uses a blend of practical talking therapy and experiential methods. Sessions can include client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. Expressive arts and movement approaches such as yoga are sometimes part of how she helps people notice patterns and experiment with new ways of responding.

Lauren favors clear, direct work. She listens for what is interfering with day-to-day functioning and then tries short, practical exercises that can be used between sessions. She also addresses related issues like communication problems, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

In the room she focuses on helping people build useful skills and notice small changes. She will work with clients on emotion regulation, coping strategies after trauma, improving self-worth, and managing anxiety or mood symptoms. Sessions are conversational and aim to produce concrete steps to test in everyday life.

Lauren practices in Florida and conducts work in English. If someone is interested in starting, the usual process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to discuss goals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy is focused on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It emphasizes the client's experience and uses open conversation to find what matters most and what feels blockaded. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable pieces and offers exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Lauren will work with a client to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT tasks, adding mindfulness practices, or using DBT skills, and then adjusting based on what helps in day-to-day life.

The therapist context does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit work into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins on difficult days. Online work also lets clients practice skills between sessions in their regular routines, which can make exercises feel more immediately relevant.
