About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges tied to relationships, family, and life changes.
She helps people who struggle with panic, sleeping problems, anger, and addictions. She also addresses issues like low self-esteem, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Lynn lists work with communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and career difficulties among her focuses.
Her sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. She uses methods that encourage practical change and clearer thinking. Clients can expect a focus on what is getting in the way now and on small steps that make daily life easier.
Lynn draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. These approaches inform how she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose values-based actions. She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions.
She aims to help adults rebuild routines, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming feelings. People who are coping with loss, difficult transitions, or relationship strain often come for focused support. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the practice's sign-up steps.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then taking actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making changes after loss or separation.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can understand themselves more clearly. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort through guilt, shame, or confusion about relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for panic attacks, sleep problems, and low mood.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different techniques as needed. That collaborative process guides whether more ACT, CBT, or client-centered methods are emphasized.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since session options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins between longer appointments. They also make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks or when travel would otherwise be a barrier.
