About Sandra

Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. She brings a compassionate, respectful manner to each interaction and emphasizes tailoring care to the individual's circumstances and goals.

Background and approach

Sandra frames therapy as a collaborative process and meets clients where they are while offering practical strategies and emotional support. Her approach integrates client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral tools and elements from dialectical and emotionally focused therapies to address symptoms and patterns that undermine wellbeing.

Sandra also attends to related issues such as grief, sleep problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, and complex family dynamics. Based in Georgia, she applies years of practice to create treatment plans that reflect each client's priorities and readiness for change.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of work in session, encouraging a supportive environment where goals and values guide the process. This approach helps people build confidence and clarity about what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or sleep disruption. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative effort. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so that therapy remains personally relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides greater flexibility for scheduling and for fitting care into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver talk-based therapy and skills coaching without requiring travel, making ongoing work more accessible for many people.
