Sandra Vaughn

Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and the life shifts that come with grief, parenting, or career change. Sandra emphasizes a respectful, compassionate approach so people feel heard and understood from the first visit.

She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-minded ideas. That means conversations start with the client's concerns, and practical steps are added to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals rather than following a single script.

Sandra also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to help manage strong emotions and on emotionally focused perspectives for relationship and attachment concerns. Her work can support people dealing with trauma, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and care-related stress among other issues. Clients with complex or overlapping concerns are welcome to bring those topics into sessions.

Her style is straightforward and encouraging. Sandra aims to help people identify small, doable changes that improve day-to-day life. She acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out and treats each person with dignity and respect.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist scheduling.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks reflective questions, and creates space for people to say what matters most. It is useful for stress, grief, and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and break unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping skills. That can include step-by-step techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation when feelings become overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel and allowing check-ins during breaks or between commitments. Some formats may also make it easier to focus on specific homework or brief skill-practice during the week.
