Lorine Kean-Vaughn , LMSW

Lorine Kean-Vaughn is an LMSW, a Licensed Master Social Worker, practicing in Michigan with three years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse field. She has supported adults facing a range of concerns, including dual diagnosis, in residential and hospital settings, bringing practical experience to complex behavioral health needs.

Her work is grounded in a person centered approach; she engages with compassion and a clear commitment to improving quality of life. Lorine treats people with dignity and respect, meeting each individual where they are and supporting progress at a pace that feels manageable and sustainable.

She draws on clinical approaches that emphasize practical skills and emotional awareness to help people navigate stress, mood disturbances, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and bipolar disorder. Lorine also works with issues related to relationships, grief, and life transitions, tailoring care to each person’s circumstances.

Lorine encourages those considering support to reach out and explore whether her approach fits their needs. She aims to create a collaborative space where goals are identified together and steps toward positive change are taken thoughtfully and intentionally.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Lorine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to help people increase present-moment awareness and manage overwhelming emotions through breath, grounding, and acceptance skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past traumatic experiences affect daily functioning, supporting gradual processing and safety while addressing trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Lorine works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from varied locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing work with a therapist.
