About Nancy
Nancy Vaughn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns, grief, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues around life purpose and self-love.
Nancy has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. The emphasis is on breaking patterns that get in the way of connection and meaning.
Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-informed practices, client-centered ideas, and solution-focused strategies. That means working on thoughts, building daily skills, and testing small changes to find what helps. She and the client develop a plan with clear goals and checkpoints.
Nancy describes strengths-based work that pays attention to the person in their environment. She talks with clients about motivation, confidence, and barriers to change. When fear or old habits slow progress, she helps identify manageable actions that move things forward.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented. People leave with specific tools to try at home or work. The focus is on steady, usable change rather than abstract theory.
How CBT and Mindfulness translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing practical alternatives. Online work can include short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try between sessions. Mindfulness-informed practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these are easy to practice during and after a virtual meeting.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick whether to emphasize CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps at any time.
Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. If an online video or phone option is available, it can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can let people continue steady work on thought patterns, coping skills, and life changes from different locations while keeping therapy practical and action oriented.
