About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 33 years of clinical experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship strains, addictions, and other life changes. Lynn focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people understand how their thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Sessions look at what is happening now and what patterns came from earlier experiences. Lynn works with issues like communication problems, panic attacks, sleep disruption, and low self-esteem. She also helps people facing divorce and separation, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Lynn draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions. That means some sessions focus on values and acceptance, some on unfolding what matters most to the person, and some on testing practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She explains the methods simply and uses exercises people can practice between meetings.
People who come for help with anger often learn ways to notice early signs of escalation and to try short tools for calming and reflection. Those with trauma or grief work through memories at a pace they can handle and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Lynn’s experience spans many concerns, and she aims to help each person set realistic next steps.
Lynn offers services in English and practices in Washington as an LMHC. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to outline goals and a plan.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what they care about and accept difficult thoughts so they can act on values. This can be useful for anger tied to guilt, shame, or recurring stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify feelings and make choices with greater confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to test and change the thinking and behaviors that feed unhelpful emotional patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize values-based work, reflective listening, or hands-on CBT skill practice and adjust as progress is made.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and cutting down on commuting time. Online work can also make it easier to keep short check-ins during a lunch break or to focus on exercises without travel. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking to be sure they match your needs.
