About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship problems, grief, sleep trouble, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and problem-solving rather than labels or quick fixes.
Sandra combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and elements of solution-focused thinking. She aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build clearer ways to respond when anger or frustration rises. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change in daily life.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice across a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, codependency, substance problems, and communication difficulties. That breadth means she often ties emotional work to practical routines like sleep, work boundaries, and handling upsetting interactions.
In sessions she uses CBT skills to spot thought patterns, DBT ideas for managing intense feelings, and client-centered methods to prioritize the client's priorities. She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential approaches when exploring relationship patterns and life meaning.
People who come for help with anger get direct, practice-oriented guidance. Expect discussion of triggers, alternatives to reactive responses, and brief skill practice that can be tried between sessions. Getting started involves a simple sign-up and a first appointment to set goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening to the client's priorities and shaping sessions around those goals. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide practical steps to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anger that comes from recurring thinking patterns, anxiety tied to predictions, or mood shifts that affect behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for tolerating distress and regulating intense emotions. These strategies are practical when someone needs concrete ways to reduce reactivity and handle strong feelings.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and then test which methods fit best. Adjustments are normal as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on emotions into a busy week by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often use these practical arrangements to keep therapy doable alongside everyday responsibilities.
