About Lynn

Lynn Hedlund is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on Family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of emotional struggles. She offers steady, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Lynn speaks plainly and helps people sort through tough moments and painful feelings.

Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up. In sessions she listens first and helps people name what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She uses clear tools and simple exercises to reduce worry, manage panic, or handle intense emotions. Conversations often include working on communication, dealing with guilt or shame, and finding ways to reconnect with purpose and self-love. Her background spans 33 years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC.

That experience informs a flexible approach that borrows from different therapies depending on the situation. Clients can expect patience, direct feedback, and steady focus on usable steps between sessions. Lynn works from Washington and conducts therapy in English.

She supports people coping with a broad set of concerns including addictions, bipolar challenges, insomnia, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. The emphasis is on helping people build coping skills and clearer communication. The overall aim is practical healing rather than quick fixes.

Lynn helps clients move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices and routines that support wellbeing over time.

Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Struggles

Lynn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy is central to her style too - she offers nonjudgmental listening and helps people feel heard as they decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides short, focused tools for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynn treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is most helpful for the person she is working with.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life or work schedules. These formats allow for ongoing check-ins, practice between sessions, and flexible scheduling so people can keep momentum while managing everyday responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
