About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 33 years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and life changes. Lynn helps people who face relationship strain, communication problems, and issues like addiction and sleep disturbance.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on clear skills for coping with panic, managing intense feelings, and improving self-esteem. Lynn also addresses concerns such as bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she helps clients notice what matters most, practice clearer thinking, and develop behaviors that match their goals. Work can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, and trying new behaviors between sessions.
Lynn often helps with communication problems tied to divorce, separation, guilt, shame, and struggles around forgiveness. She also supports people feeling isolated or unsure about life purpose. Expect practical steps you can try between meetings to test what helps.
Sessions are offered in English and are oriented toward adults seeking tools for emotional regulation and healthier patterns. Lynn asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session so she can understand goals and priorities.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to live with difficult feelings while taking actions that matter. It can help with anger that comes from unmet needs or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting to help people feel understood and decide on next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynn collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts exercises and short practice tasks based on what the client wants to achieve, so sessions aim to be a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. Because session options were not specified in the source biography, confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to try brief check-ins, practice skills between meetings, or schedule sessions around work or family commitments without a long commute.
