Sandra Vaughn, LPC

Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She approaches each person with compassion and respect and aims to make therapy a practical step toward clearer thinking and calmer days. Sandra sees clients who are dealing with addictions, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and a wide range of other concerns related to emotional and relational strain.

Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas and elements from emotion-focused and dialectical approaches. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client, and on learning concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sandra also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when it helps people think about meaning, identity, and difficult life choices.

Sessions are collaborative. Sandra listens first, then helps set small, doable goals based on each person’s needs. She uses practical tools for coping, communication, and emotion regulation, and checks in regularly about progress. Many clients find this mix useful for problems such as relationship conflict, sleep trouble, anger, career stress, and caregiving strain.

With 23 years of practice in Georgia, Sandra combines experience with a down-to-earth style. She encourages people to be honest about their struggles and to try manageable changes rather than dramatic overhauls. Her tone is steady and straightforward, focused on real-life improvements.

Sandra asks clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and to schedule sessions according to availability. Her approach is meant to be flexible so therapy can fit into everyday life while addressing the concerns that brought someone in.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name what matters most in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and focus so therapy feels relevant and useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. Many people find that meeting remotely supports steady momentum between life's demands while working on relationships, coping skills, or behavior change.
