Lee-Anne Vaughn, LCSW

Lee-Anne Vaughn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people untangle the thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life. She focuses on practical steps as well as self-reflection, so clients can make changes that matter. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping adults move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

She mixes talking through emotions with concrete planning. That can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new behaviors, or trying small experiments between sessions. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas are often part of this work, along with cognitive behavioral techniques that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.

Vaughn brings ten years of professional experience and holds a Master in Social Work and a Master in Business Administration, both from the University of Kentucky. She practices in Kentucky and uses her background in financial wellness when money and life stress are involved. Her credential is LCSW, which she uses while working with adults across a range of concerns.

Common issues she addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, addictions, and life transitions. She also supports people facing family of origin problems, divorce and separation, and career or financial strain.

Sessions often combine acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral tools tailored to the person’s goals. Vaughn values practical steps, clear goals, and ongoing collaboration so people leave sessions with usable strategies.

Practical approaches you can use online

Lee-Anne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and helps people clarify what matters to them while learning to ride out difficult feelings rather than avoid them. ACT can be helpful for life transitions, low mood, and persistent worry.

She pairs these approaches with a client-centered stance, which means listening first and shaping the work around each person's goals. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process; she will help you try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust plans as needed so the therapy matches your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face when you want a full session. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Chat and messaging suit brief updates, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family, and other commitments.
