About Lauryn
Lauryn Blanding is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and life transitions. Lauryn focuses on building a respectful, understanding relationship first.
That relationship is the place clients can talk openly and begin to make changes. Her approach blends practical strategies with a warm, client-centered style. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and taking small steps toward them. Lauryn pays close attention to relationship patterns and emotional connection. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when intimacy feels distant or conflict keeps repeating.
She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Many people seek her help for parenting stress, family problems, grief, career strain, and concerns tied to bipolar mood patterns. She also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, infidelity, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what matters to each person. Lauryn offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations begin by identifying the client’s goals and working at a realistic pace.

Approaches that guide online care
Lauryn uses approaches that focus on values, connection, and skill building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and take actions that match their values. It can help when someone feels overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauryn treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches or focusing on skills practice, emotional processing, or values-based steps depending on the situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text sessions can suit people who prefer brief, written exchanges or need more frequent touchpoints between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
