About Sandra
Sandra Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and a wide range of life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Sandra combines several practical approaches when meeting with clients. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and interaction patterns. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used when skills and thought patterns are the priority.
Expect sessions that focus on identifying problems that feel most urgent, naming the emotions involved, and practicing clearer ways of thinking or responding. Sandra works with issues such as sleep problems, parenting stress, career strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and substance concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and blended family dynamics.
Her background emphasizes long-term practice rather than a single method. She adapts approaches based on what each person says is working or not working. Plans are practical and goal oriented, with steps a person can try between sessions.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and interaction patterns to help name what is happening inside and between people. It can be useful when emotions feel confusing or when repeated patterns keep reappearing. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the room and prioritizes listening and reflection to clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift and new issues arise.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue weekly work while handling disruptions like relocating or changing jobs. Licensed professionals aim to match approach and schedule to everyday realities so therapy can be practical and sustainable.
