About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and other life pressures. Sandra uses straightforward talk and simple tools so clients can make changes that fit their everyday lives.
She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on concrete steps - learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing ways to respond differently in heated moments.
Background and approach
Sandra helps people build skills they can use outside of therapy. Her background includes long clinical experience across a wide range of concerns like trauma, grief, parenting strain, work stress, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD. Sandra treats each person as an individual and adapts what she does to match specific needs and goals.
She respects each client's pace and priorities. Therapy with Sandra often includes short-term skill building and longer-term work on patterns that keep repeating. She pays attention to relationship dynamics, communication problems, and where old wounds affect current choices.
The goal is clearer thinking and fewer impulsive reactions. Sandra practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She guides people through practical steps, coaching, and supportive reflection so they can manage anger and regain a steadier routine.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sandra uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the center of each session. This means she listens first, follows the client's concerns, and shapes sessions around what matters most to the person. Client-centered work helps people feel heard and understood, which supports later skill practice.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this often involves short exercises, worksheets, and homework the client can try between meetings to reduce anger and anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She aims to match practical strategies to each person's pace and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins and skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
