Lorine Kean-Vaughn, LMSW

Lorine Kean-Vaughn is a licensed master social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She focuses on practical steps that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her approach is straightforward and centered on the person in front of her.

Lorine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when a brief, goal-oriented plan or trauma work is needed. Sessions often include skill practice, simple experiments to try between meetings, and clear steps to track progress.

She brings three years of social work experience and holds an LMSW, which is a licensed master social worker credential. That background shapes a practical style that aims to make therapy useful from the start. Lorine meets people where they are and moves at a pace they find manageable.

In sessions she listens closely and helps set small, achievable goals. She works with issues like sleep, eating, grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, bipolar mood swings, postpartum depression, ADHD, and substance concerns.

People can expect clear explanations and hands-on tools rather than long theoretical talks. Lorine values cultural context and addresses multicultural concerns as part of treatment planning. She accepts clients in Michigan and also works with people internationally in English.

Therapy is arranged through an online process that lets clients choose video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Lorine uses these formats to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep follow-up and practice accessible between sessions.

Online approaches that fit your life

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people spot patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and replace them with more useful ways of thinking. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. It can help with anxiety, trauma symptoms, rumination, and coping during difficult transitions.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then shape a plan that mixes CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused elements as needed. That process is collaborative and adjusts over time as progress is tracked.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person meetings. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and easier follow-up between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
