About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strains, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, ADHD, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or long theory discussions.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and elements from other methods. That means she listens first, then helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior to change what isn’t working. She also uses skills-based work for emotional regulation and communication when that fits a person’s goals.
Sandra draws on Emotionally-Focused and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to help with intense feelings, anger, and problems that recur in relationships. Existential perspectives are used when people face big life questions, loss, or transitions and need help finding meaning or direction.
In sessions she typically breaks concerns into manageable steps. Conversations often include practice between meetings and simple tools for coping day to day. She encourages straightforward tracking of progress so clients can see what is changing.
People who want clear strategies and a steady focus on practical improvement may find this style helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so goals become clearer. In practice this means sessions are conversational and prioritize the client's concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to change patterns that cause distress; it uses practical exercises and homework to build new skills and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger, relationship patterns, and high emotional reactivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try techniques to see what helps most. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about the balance of listening, skills practice, and behavior change work.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit meetings into a busy day, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to an online setting so practical skill-building continues even when meeting remotely.
