About Sandra

Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Sandra aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through problems and set clear goals.

She uses a mix of client-centered care and cognitive-behavioral methods to tailor plans to each person. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on testing small changes that make a difference. Sandra also draws on skills from dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused ideas when these fit the situation.

Sessions typically cover coping skills, problem solving, and patterns that keep difficult feelings in place. She helps people manage sleep trouble, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and challenges tied to substance use. The work can include practical coaching around life changes and building stronger routines.

Sandra brings a long track record in counseling and a straightforward style. She honors each person's background and values while helping them identify workable steps. Her approach emphasizes respect, clear goals, and steady progress.

People in Georgia come to her for help with mood shifts, trauma and abuse recovery, ADHD concerns, career stress, and complex family issues. If you want a counselor who focuses on clear strategies and steady support, Sandra offers an approachable, goal-oriented way forward.

Approaches that shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to you and helps you set your own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to shift patterns that keep symptoms going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sandra will work with clients to decide which approaches fit current needs and goals. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a break, or offering an option when camera use is difficult. Many people find online sessions convenient for keeping therapy consistent during life transitions. Licensed professionals tailor session structure so it fits your schedule and goals.
