About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn offers steady, practical care for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and life changes. She is an LPC with 23 years of experience and focuses on helping clients take manageable steps toward feeling better. Sandra speaks English and practices from Georgia.
Sandra uses a mix of straightforward approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on building skills that make daily life easier.
How Sandra works
Clients can expect calm, respectful listening and clear suggestions rather than a lot of jargon. Her work covers emotional pain after loss, relationship stress, sleep problems, anger, parenting strain, and struggles tied to identity and LGBT concerns. She also helps people dealing with addiction, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and career or caregiving pressures.
Sandra pays attention to how medical or family issues can make emotions harder to manage. Sandra blends client-centered talk with cognitive behavioral tools and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused approaches when helpful. That combination lets her both follow a person's priorities and teach concrete coping skills.
She frames treatment as a shared effort and adjusts plans as needs change. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session according to available times.
Sandra aims to make therapy practical, reachable, and focused on everyday improvements.

How Sandra's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and creates space to talk through concerns while the therapist listens with empathy and respect. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to build routines that improve mood and sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during stressful moments.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is helpful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
