About Lynn

LMHC in Washington with 33 years of clinical experience, Lynn Hedlund helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She works with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, bipolar symptoms, and intimacy-related issues. Lynn also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and career or life purpose questions.

Lynn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations are direct and oriented toward everyday problems and decisions. The goal is to reduce symptoms and build useful habits rather than rely on jargon.

Sessions typically involve exploring what matters to the client, testing small changes, and reviewing what worked. Lynn helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She pairs reflection with straightforward exercises drawn from the three named approaches.

Her style is steady and task-focused. She helps clients set goals, track progress, and adjust strategies when needed. This can include work on panic, social anxiety, self-esteem, or managing compassion fatigue.

Clients come from varied backgrounds and present with a mix of issues. Lynn practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. She does not work with international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the site workflow to match and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take action toward them. In short remote sessions this means spotting what matters and planning small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. CBT exercises work well between sessions and give concrete tasks to practice. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and follows their pace, offering a non-directive framework for discussing feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynn will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as those needs change. The process is collaborative and pragmatic, with adjustments made from session to session.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel. They also let people use shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching questionnaire and first appointment to pick what fits daily life best.
