About Lauren

Lauren Blount is a licensed counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Lauren speaks plainly and uses practical tools to help people cope with big feelings and life changes.

Her sessions aim to be warm and nonjudgmental. She creates space for clients to name what is hard and try small changes.

Background and approach

Lauren draws on simple mindfulness practices, breathing and grounding skills, and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce overwhelming emotions. Lauren also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and relationship-focused work from the Gottman Method when those approaches fit the need. She blends these approaches into a plan shaped by each clients goals and what works in day-to-day life.

The therapist explains skills clearly and practices them together with the person in session. With three years of professional experience, Lauren brings practical strategies and a calm tone. She works in Florida and holds the following credentials: LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

People who come to Lauren can expect straightforward guidance, short practical exercises, and an emphasis on building skills they can use between sessions. She supports efforts to repair relationships, handle stress better, and build confidence over time.

Approaches for online support and practical skills

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard; it helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through parenting stress or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can reduce symptoms of anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving coping, and handling impulsivity.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and daily life. Together they review what feels useful, adjust techniques, and decide on a plan that fits the clients needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or childcare. In remote sessions the focus stays on practicing skills, checking what helps between meetings, and using brief exercises that translate to everyday moments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
