  You probably let your domain expire. After a long time the expired domain becomes available for sale.

  Hi there!

  The site you have on WordPress.com is appalachianwaycounseling.wordpress.com.
  The domain appalachianwaycounseling.com has never been registered with us. I had a look at the history of your DNS records, and it seems that it was using GoDaddy’s nameservers from 2016, but the domain expired in June 2021.

  Unfortunately, once you let your domain lapse, you lose your rights to it, and anyone can register it. You can find more details on the page @staartmees shared above.
