Lauren Blount, LPC, LMHC

Lauren Blount is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She brings three years of clinical experience and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents and adults. Lauren speaks English and practices in Florida.

She uses a practical, person-focused style in sessions. Conversations center on the issues you bring and on small, doable changes. Lauren often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Lauren also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness practices to teach emotional regulation and grounding skills. Sessions may include guided breathing, attention skills, or exercises to build tolerance for strong feelings. The goal is steadily increasing coping skills rather than quick fixes.

Parents can expect straightforward talk about everyday routines, communication, and self-care. Lauren helps people address family of origin struggles, parenting stress, and relationship communication in ways that fit daily life. She focuses on building skills people can use between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental. Lauren works with each person to set clear goals and track progress. She encourages small experiments that help people regain a sense of control and purpose.

How CBT, Client-Centered Work, and DBT Translate Online

Lauren often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT involves short, focused exercises and homework that fit well into online sessions for addressing anxiety, mood struggles, and parenting-related worries.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means listening closely and responding to what each person needs. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and supports exploring feelings and values over time in conversational online sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are taught through in-session practice, worksheets, and short skill drills that can be done between appointments.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lauren will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods so they fit the client's life and schedule.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates or get brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and varied schedules.
