About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She listens carefully and helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, ADHD, or major life changes. Her style is direct but warm, and she aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
She blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior and emotionally-focused work. That means sessions often focus on clear goals, skills to manage difficult feelings, and improving how people relate to others.
Background and approach
Sandra explains tools in plain language and helps people try them between sessions. Sandra uses short-term strategies when useful and also supports deeper work about values and meaning when clients want that. She pays attention to patterns like attachment, codependency, or control issues and offers ways to change them.
Her approach adapts to what each person needs rather than using one fixed plan. People may come for help with sleep problems, parenting stress, career decisions, or coping after trauma and loss. Sandra also addresses substance use, anger, and compassion fatigue in caregivers and professionals.
Every plan will reflect the client’s goals and day-to-day realities. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their schedule. Sandra works from Georgia and provides counseling in English.
How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by centering the person’s experience and priorities, so sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and build on their strengths. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance strategies for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive behaviors.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sandra will work collaboratively to identify goals and try approaches that fit each person’s needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback as they go.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share updates or practice skills between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines while keeping the focus on practical progress and skill-building.
