Lauren Blount , LPC, LMHC

Lauren Blount is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She practices in Florida and brings three years of professional experience to sessions. Her work includes attention to women's issues and challenges young adults often face.

Lauren takes a whole-person view rather than focusing only on symptoms. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and practical problems. Sessions aim to identify simple steps clients can try between meetings to feel steadier and more capable.

Her style mixes conversational listening with hands-on skills. Lauren draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness, and dialectical behavior ideas to manage strong emotions. She also adapts a client-centered stance, following each person’s pace and priorities.

Clients who want a practical plan will find concrete tools and check-ins in her approach. She often works on communication skills, coping after loss or disaster, and repairing patterns from family of origin issues. Lauren also addresses shame, guilt, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Lauren holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She uses straightforward language in sessions and focuses on clear, usable strategies rather than technical terms. That makes therapy easier to fit into a busy life.

Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace; it helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward the issues they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with impulsivity and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending approaches or trying a few tools to see what helps most.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions are useful for quick updates, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep steady progress between sessions.
