About Lauren

Lauren Blount is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people who are juggling stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her work is straightforward and aimed at easing daily burdens and building practical skills. She uses an integrative style that centers the person first.

Sessions are collaborative and warm. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises tailored to their needs.

Lauren draws on methods like the Gottman Method, client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. These tools are used to improve communication, manage strong emotions, reduce anxiety, and work through painful memories.

Her background includes three years of professional experience and licensure as LPC and LMHC in Florida. She also brings elements from expressive arts, yoga, and ayurveda into sessions when they fit a client’s goals.

Lauren focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly. She helps clients set small, doable goals and practices skills between sessions to make steady progress.

Therapeutic tools that translate to online care

Lauren blends the Gottman Method, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address both practical problems and emotional patterns. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict, which can help people who want clearer conversations and fewer recurring arguments. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete tools to reduce anxiety and manage mood changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lauren works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made and new goals emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions work well when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
