About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a licensed mental health counselor with 33 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with adults who are facing relationship strain, sleep problems, addiction concerns, anger, or questions about purpose and self-worth. Her first aim is to listen and help people feel understood as they sort through what matters most to them.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a warm, nonjudgmental space where each person sets the pace. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are used when they match a person’s goals, offering straightforward tools to manage thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing what gets in the way of the life someone wants.
Lynn pays attention to patterns that show up around communication, isolation, panic, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Work may include learning new coping skills, repairing patterns of interaction, or shifting unhelpful thinking.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Lynn helps people practice choices between sessions and tracks what changes over time. Her Washington license is listed as LMHC and she provides care in English.
If you want steady support through a painful period or help making different choices, she focuses on clear steps and compassionate listening to help people move forward.
Approaches used in online therapy and what they do
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting conversation where people lead the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and regain confidence. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like panic or insomnia.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change over time as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make attendance more consistent when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and communication style.
