Dr. Lisa Vaughn , LMFT

Dr. Lisa Vaughn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families navigating relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, and patterns of family dysfunction. She practices from an integrative framework, drawing on multiple therapeutic orientations to tailor care to each person or family. Her approach emphasizes strength-based, affirming work that supports personal and emotional growth while addressing parenting, intimacy, grief, addiction, and other life stressors.

Vaughn integrates faith perspectives into her clinical work, offering counseling that aligns with a Biblical worldview for those who seek that focus. She is known for a warm, relaxed style that aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can explore painful histories and recurring patterns. Part of her practice involves identifying intergenerational strongholds within family histories to help clients see how long-standing behaviors and consequences have shaped current relationships.

With experience in addressing attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and forgiveness, she supports clients through practical strategies and therapeutic insight. Her orientation includes work on stress, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping difficulties, and caregiving challenges such as hospice and end-of-life concerns, all approached with a focus on helping clients gain clearer perspective and meaningful change.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and for anyone working to live more intentionally despite emotional discomfort.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and connection that form in families and close relationships. It helps people recognize and change unhelpful attachment styles, improve communication, and heal wounds related to intimacy, separation, and loss.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth by creating a space where clients feel heard and empowered to make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Licensed professionals and therapists will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or elsewhere, and engage in therapy in the ways that feel most manageable and effective.
