Sandra Vaughn, LPC

Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Sandra aims to make appointments feel straightforward and focused so families and individuals can take practical steps forward.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of emotion-focused work. Sessions usually involve noticing patterns in thoughts and everyday habits, trying small changes, and checking what helps. She emphasizes respect and compassion in the room and encourages clients to set clear, reachable goals.

Over 23 years of practice across Georgia, Sandra has worked with many common life struggles, including parenting strain, career shifts, burnout, and coping with loss. She pays attention to how thoughts influence behavior and uses that awareness to shape next steps. The work is practical and rooted in real-life problems rather than jargon.

Sandra aims to collaborate with each person to build a plan that fits their needs. That might include short-term strategies for managing anxiety or longer conversations about identity, boundaries, and meaning. She invites people to try approaches and then adjust based on what works.

The tone in sessions is steady and direct, with a focus on skills people can use between meetings. Sandra encourages small experiments in daily life to test new habits and reduce distress over time.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy starts with listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist offers empathic attention and helps you name what matters, which can be useful for grief, relationship concerns, and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts link to feelings and actions. It breaks problems into smaller parts and uses practical exercises to shift habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can help with anger, impulsive behavior, and stress that affects daily routines.

Choosing a style is a collaborative process. Sandra will talk with you about your goals and try approaches that match your needs. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and usable in daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign short exercises to practice between meetings so progress can continue outside sessions.
