About Lorine
Lorine Kean-Vaughn is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, and ADHD. She speaks plainly and listens first, meeting clients where they are. Her approach focuses on small, practical steps that make daily life easier.
She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to build different habits. Mindfulness practices are brought in to help reduce overwhelm and improve attention.
Background and approach
Solution-focused conversations aim to find what works now and build from those successes. Lorine has three years of documented experience as an LMSW in Michigan. She has worked in mental health and substance use settings and has supported people through grief, trauma, and life transitions.
This background shapes a down-to-earth style in sessions. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect direct feedback, simple skill practice, and homework when helpful.
The therapist emphasizes dignity and respect, and encourages progress at a comfortable pace. She also addresses concerns such as body image, postpartum mood changes, isolation, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Lorine works with individuals on coping skills for sleep, eating, anger, and self-harm thoughts when those concerns come up.
Her practical focus is on improving day-to-day functioning and helping people feel more in control. People who want short-term problem solving or longer work on underlying patterns can explore options together. The first meetings focus on priorities, safety, and simple steps toward change.
Approaches that fit into online care
The therapist commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce overwhelm and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Clients and the therapist discuss what feels helpful and try different tools until a good fit emerges.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people work through short concerns, track progress between sessions, or get support without scheduling a longer meeting. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
