Lee-Anne Vaughn , LCSW

Lee-Anne Vaughn approaches therapy by blending self-reflection with concrete planning and action to help clients move forward. She guides people through identifying the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that create obstacles in their lives, and then works collaboratively to make those barriers easier to navigate or overcome. This process often brings fresh personal insights and practical changes that align with each person's individual goals.

She draws from a range of evidence-based methods tailored to a person’s needs, with particular emphasis on acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Lee-Anne also values the therapeutic benefits of animals, time spent outdoors, and mindfulness practice as complementary supports to traditional talk therapy.

Lee-Anne holds a Master in Social Work and a Master in Business Administration from the University of Kentucky. She is trained in financial wellness and is a certified financial social work educator through the Center for Financial Social Work in Asheville, NC. Based in central Kentucky, she maintains a private practice and enjoys working with adults across the lifespan. Lee-Anne is passionate about this work and welcomes the opportunity to connect with new clients.

How Lee-Anne Integrates Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other concerns by teaching practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to foster self-discovery and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lee-Anne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy with Lee-Anne offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals without the need for travel.
