About Lynn
Lynn Hedlund is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 33 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. She also supports those coping with sleep problems, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, and struggles with self-esteem.
In sessions she focuses on building clear, practical skills. She listens first and helps people name what matters to them. Then she offers tools to manage strong feelings, improve communication, and reduce panic or intrusive thoughts.
Background and approach
Lynn uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Her style is warm and direct. She encourages steady progress through small changes and repeated practice. People work on real-life challenges such as rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, coping with loss, and handling anger without escalating conflicts.
Lynn also helps clients address isolation, forgiveness, shame, and life purpose. Sessions are practical and focused, with clear strategies to try between meetings. She aims to help people feel more capable and more connected over time.

How Lynn’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life, and it can help with anxiety, anger, and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear, step-by-step ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often used for panic, depression, sleep problems, and social anxiety because it gives practical strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most, mixing ACT and CBT tools when useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Chat and text are useful for short updates, exercises, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy practical and focused.
