About Lorine

Lorine Kean-Vaughn is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) based in Michigan who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She speaks English and offers work that aims to reduce stress, anxiety, low mood, and problems with sleep or appetite. She also addresses addictions, trauma, mood instability, and parenting-related challenges.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice their feelings and calm the body. Solution-focused ideas help set small, realistic goals that fit daily life. Lorine draws on three years of professional experience as an LMSW and has worked with people facing grief, intimacy issues, body image concerns, postpartum depression, isolation, and purpose-related questions.

She also supports those managing ADHD, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Her background includes work in mental health and substance use settings. In sessions she aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels right.

Conversations are practical and geared toward changes clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes respect, dignity, and collaborative problem solving. Clients connect with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.

The service model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Lorine is available to work with international clients who communicate in English.

Online approaches that fit daily family life

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting and changing thought and behavior patterns that make stress, anxiety, or low mood worse. It breaks problems into small steps and gives practical skills to try between sessions, which can help with sleep, eating, and parenting challenges.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Those skills can help when feelings are intense after trauma, during grief, or in moments of parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, mindfulness, or short-term solution-focused steps and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect from home, handle quick check-ins, and maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. The variety of formats supports practical, ongoing work toward the changes people want.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
