Lee-Anne Vaughn, LCSW

Lee-Anne Vaughn, LCSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety find clearer ways forward. She invites clients to name the roadblocks in life and then works with them to make small, doable changes. Her style is down-to-earth and practical. She welcomes adults of all ages who want to feel more steady and purposeful.

She combines thoughtful reflection with concrete planning. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person, then uses tools drawn from several approaches to match the need. That can mean learning new thinking habits, practicing present-moment awareness, or clarifying values and goals.

Vaughn holds a Master in Social Work and a Master in Business Administration from the University of Kentucky. She has ten years of experience as a social worker and therapist and currently sees clients in Kentucky. She is also a certified financial social work educator through the Center for Financial Social Work.

Her work often includes acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior techniques, motivational interviewing, and client-centered talk therapy. She also values time outdoors and the therapeutic role animals can play when appropriate.

Clients who want to address stress, relationships, grief, life transitions, addictions, or career concerns will find practical steps and reflective conversation in her approach. She encourages collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change unhelpful behavior and mood. It is often helpful for worry, low mood, and social anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, listening stance where the therapist follows the person's lead and supports self-discovery.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use elements from these methods that fit the situation. That means adjusting pace and tools together rather than following a fixed program.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more manageable. Licensed professionals can bring the same practical tools and reflective work into remote sessions, helping people make steady progress while juggling everyday life.
