About Jorrene
Jorrene Vaughn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with over three decades of clinical experience. She has provided care in a variety of settings, including psychiatric and Veterans Administration hospitals, partial hospital programs, and personal outpatient practice. Her background gives her a wide view of how people cope with intense stress and long-term emotional pain.
She focuses on forming a genuine therapeutic relationship where she stays fully present and listens carefully.
How Jorrene works
Jorrene uses that relationship to help people understand their struggles and find practical direction. She avoids telling people what to do and gives advice only rarely. Her work addresses common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, eating and body-image worries, career questions, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and family of origin concerns, codependency, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and caregiving stress. Jorrene draws on several approaches to tailor her work to each person.
She uses client-centered ways of listening, cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful patterns, and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing relational themes. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are also part of her practice when they fit a person’s goals. People meet her through online formats and scheduled sessions that fit their needs.
She offers straightforward conversation, steady support, and practical steps to help people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jorrene commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so the person can find their own solutions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools when they match a person's goals. Those methods help people accept difficult feelings while choosing values-based actions, useful for stress, grief, addiction issues, and chronic worry. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches feel most helpful and will adjust as needs change in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit around busy days, let someone send thoughts between sessions, or provide a lower-barrier way to check in. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
