Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Counselor

Sandra Vaughn draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work and the therapist provides empathy and understanding - this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day functioning. Sandra also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra works collaboratively with clients to select and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so that treatment stays relevant and effective over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier for clients to access regular support, attend sessions from home, and maintain continuity of care during life changes or travel, while working with licensed professionals who tailor the work to individual needs.
