About Jorrene
Jorrene Vaughn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 32 years of experience. She has worked in psychiatric and Veterans Administration hospitals, partial hospitalization, and private practice. Her background includes helping people with depression, anxiety, trust issues, shame, and more complex emotional concerns.
Her practice emphasizes practical, focused work. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment and mindfulness strategies when they fit the situation.
In sessions she prioritizes a straightforward, real relationship with the person in front of her. She listens closely and avoids telling people what to do. Advice is rare; the goal is to help clients understand their options and find direction for themselves.
She has decades of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which informs how she identifies immediate coping steps and longer-term patterns. That mix helps when addressing issues like trauma, addiction, grief, or ongoing mood concerns.
People who want concrete ways to change thinking and behavior often find her approach useful. She aims to help clients recognize patterns, try specific alternatives, and track what works. If you want to begin, follow the site steps to view online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
How CBT, ACT and client-centered work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. It often focuses on willingness to experience difficult thoughts while acting toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting rather than directing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and practical needs. That might mean trying CBT techniques for specific coping skills, using ACT for values-based decisions, or spending time exploring patterns from a psychodynamic angle.
