Brittany Vaughn

Brittany Vaughn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions like anger, anxiety, and depression. She focuses on practical steps you can use day to day. Brittany listens without judgment and works with each person to set clear goals.

She draws on 12 years of clinical experience gained in a mix of settings. Brittany earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Southern Illinois University in 2012 and a Master of Social Work in 2014. Early in her career she provided care in a residential program for adolescents who had experienced extreme trauma.

After that she worked in Williamson County public schools offering therapy to students with a range of difficulties, including challenging behavior. More recently she has provided outpatient services to children, adolescents, and adults. Those experiences shaped a practical style that values plain language and step-by-step progress.

In sessions she uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her adapt tools to whatever is most useful for each person. She emphasizes coping skills, emotion regulation, and problem solving.

Brittany also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting strain, life transitions, ADHD, and work-related stressors like compassion fatigue. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to try small changes that lead to better daily functioning.

People who want straightforward, goal-focused help with anger or related problems may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal skills. It can be useful for strong emotions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try techniques that fit. If an approach doesn't feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work matches what the person wants to accomplish.

The practical benefits of online care include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist and client can then choose formats and rhythms that fit the person's routine and treatment goals.
