More about Heather

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am Heather Vaughn, LCSW,(Licensed Clinical Social Worker), MCAP (Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional) and qualified supervisor for Florida registered social work and family therapist interns. I have 8 years of mental health experience, graduating with Masters degree in Social Work from Florida International University and a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies from University of Miami. My experience as a psychotherapist has given me practice with treatment of anxiety/stress management, depression, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), crisis intervention, eating disorders and family/relationship problems. As a certified addiction professional with six years of experience in mental health and substance abuse counseling, I have a completely nonjudgmental attitude and accepting mentality. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to help you with any problem you may have. I practice therapy based on your individual needs, drawing from your strengths to help you overcome adversity and adapt to a more productive way of living. I engage in solution focused, practical problem solving techniques. I have a large tool kit of coping skills I teach from, including mindfulness, tapping, meditation, affirmations and more; One coping method if not all will be the right fit for you to use, at the time you need it the most. If you want to better your life and seek solutions, I am the perfect therapist for you. Take a chance on me, it will be worth it.

Sincerely yours,

Heather Vaughn, LCSW, MCAP

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
