About Jorrene
Jorrene Vaughn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 32 years of clinical experience. She has worked in psychiatric hospital settings, a Veterans Administration hospital, partial hospital programs, and in outpatient private practice. Her caseload has included depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and a range of other emotional difficulties.
Across inpatient and outpatient work she has supported people coping with shame, trust issues, eating and intimacy-related problems, and complicated family or caregiver stress. She also notes experience with bipolar mood concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. These areas are reflected in the range of issues she describes handling over three decades of practice.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, psychodynamic ideas, client-centered work, and mindfulness practice. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central and aims to be present and engaged while helping people clarify direction for themselves. She says she rarely gives direct advice and does not tell clients what to do.
People seeking help for parenting strain, family conflict, or intimacy-related concerns may find her background relevant. She frames work as collaborative and focused on understanding patterns, emotions, and practical next steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Jorrene practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. Her credential is LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. For next steps she asks people to use the online matching and scheduling process to set a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change them. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and anger-related difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit the person's goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic reflection over time.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a work break or between appointments. Phone appointments can require less bandwidth and shorter check-ins, while video sessions let the therapist and client observe nonverbal cues. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching steps so sessions work with everyday life.
