About Lauren
Lauren Blount is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She is licensed in South Carolina as an LPC and in Florida as an LMHC. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and low self-esteem.
Lauren uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods and practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also integrates mindfulness and movement-based ideas when they fit the person's needs.
In a session she listens to what feels most urgent for the person and then helps set small, concrete goals. That might look like identifying patterns that fuel anxiety, practicing short emotion-regulation skills, or working on clearer communication around parenting roles. Sessions are paced to what each person can handle.
Her background includes short-term clinical work across community settings during the past three years. That experience informs her focus on coping with life changes, mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people struggling with family of origin issues, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Lauren describes her approach as integrative. She blends talking-based therapy with mindfulness practices and expressive movement when useful. People who prefer an active, skills-focused approach to managing everyday stress and parenting pressures may find this practical and direct style helpful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual, helping them set the pace and topics for sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are needed. DBT techniques offer short, repeatable skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication around difficult family or parenting situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaboratively identify which methods fit a client's goals and everyday life. That choice can shift as needs change, with practical skill work or mindfulness practices added when useful.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered exercises for video or phone-based meetings, helping people practice skills between sessions and apply them at home.
