About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and other life changes. Sandra also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people facing parenting and family-related strains.
She uses straightforward talk and practical techniques in sessions. Sandra combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are focused on clear goals and steps to manage symptoms and daily demands.
Sandra’s background includes long-term clinical work with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and substance use issues. She also helps people cope with caregiver stress, aging issues, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce. Her experience is designed to support adults who need concrete strategies and steady guidance.
In a meeting with Sandra, expect direct conversation about current problems, skills practice, and planning for small changes between sessions. She draws on emotion-focused ideas when relationship patterns are part of the problem, and existential questions when people are facing large life transitions.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative. If you are in a blended household and navigating step-parenting, co-parenting with an ex, or loyalty conflicts, Sandra lists blended family issues among her areas of focus and can work with you on practical next steps.
How Sandra integrates approaches in online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a working relationship. The therapist follows the person's concerns and helps them set goals while responding to what matters most in their life. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful conversation about practical problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear techniques and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions, and it can help people who struggle with intense anger or relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time based on what is helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work while managing school, parenting, or job schedules, so practical timing and session length can be matched to daily life.
