About Lauryn
Lauryn Blanding is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions. Lauryn also works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and bipolar mood concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels off and figure out next steps. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting, and trying practical skills for managing emotions and handling conflict. Lauryn draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs in the moment.
Her background includes work with adolescents and young adults around depression, anxiety, and peer or relational difficulties. She also has experience supporting people dealing with family conflict, caregiving strain, commitment and communication problems, and the emotional fallout from separation or infidelity.
Clients can expect a focus on building clearer communication, managing intense emotions, and making small changes that feel doable day to day. Lauryn helps people practice tools that reduce overwhelm and improve decision making around work, school, and relationships.
She practices in South Carolina and works in English. If you are weighing next steps after school, starting a first job, or feeling lost in relationships, Lauryn helps people in early adulthood address those pressures and find practical coping strategies.
How Lauryn uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and practicing small actions that reflect those values, which can help with feeling stuck or aimless. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into concrete patterns and tests new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and helps people name and change interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Lauryn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try approaches that fit those goals. She adapts methods across sessions so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between commitments. If you need clarity about which session format is possible, ask when you schedule so you can plan around work, school, or caregiving duties.
