About Sandra

Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Sandra works in a straightforward, compassionate way.

She listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, concrete steps that can make daily life easier. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.

Background and approach

That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build better ways to manage emotions. She also uses emotionally focused and existential ideas to address deeper meaning, connections, and values. Sandra has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency, sleep problems, and career worries.

She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and serious medical issues such as cancer. Her background spans many settings over two decades, giving her practical experience with complex, combined problems. People who choose Sandra often want a counselor who is warm, direct, and goal oriented.

She frames treatment as a collaboration and adapts plans to each person's needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone to her and then sessions are scheduled to fit timing and format preferences.

How Sandra's Approaches Work Online

Sandra uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's needs and goals. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting concerns back, and building a plan that fits the person's life and priorities.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stresses. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to help with intense feelings and recurring patterns of conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sandra will talk with the person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. The aim is to find tools that feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help work through relationship and emotional issues. Phone sessions may fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick, flexible ways to reflect between sessions or to use shorter check-ins during a busy week. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting and other responsibilities.
