About Lauryn

Lauryn Blanding, LPC brings eight years of counseling experience to her practice in South Carolina and centers care on building a collaborative, compassionate relationship with each client. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career stress, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Lauryn also works with issues such as bipolar mood concerns, anger, isolation, and family-of-origin or attachment difficulties, aiming to help clients clarify goals and develop practical ways to move forward. Her style blends evidence-informed methods with empathetic listening, guiding clients to explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and improve communication.

Lauryn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered strategies to tailor care to individual needs. She values a nonjudgmental stance and prioritizes a therapeutic alliance that supports growth, whether someone seeks support for relationship repair, coping with major life changes, or addressing persistent emotional challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lauryn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often using practical exercises to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. Client-centered therapy is another part of her approach, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they explore their concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Lauryn works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from these approaches to create a personalized plan. This process can include skill-building, exploratory work around relationships and attachment, and strategies for coping with life transitions.

Online therapy formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for varied schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit sessions into busy lives while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical progress and growth.
