Lauryn Blanding, LPC

Lauryn Blanding, LPC, brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or big life changes. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard right now.

She listens first and then helps clients identify practical next steps. Sessions often include learning new skills to manage strong emotions and practicing ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Lauryn uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a single rigid method.

Many clients come with concerns about intimacy, trust, or communication, including issues like infidelity, commitment worries, or family conflict. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, grief, anger, career problems, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. Lauryn pays attention to attachment patterns and how past family dynamics affect current relationships.

Her therapeutic tools include cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work for relationships, acceptance-based practices, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Treatment is collaborative, and she helps people set realistic goals they can practice between sessions.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when worries, shame, or fear stop someone from doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on how emotions shape relationships and communication and can help partners and individuals create clearer emotional connections.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and realistic for the person's life.

The site listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, or better for short check-ins. Online work can also let the therapist coach specific communication or emotion-regulation skills that clients can practice between meetings.
