About Lorine

Lorine Kean-Vaughn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people navigate anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and substance-related concerns. She works with a wide range of struggles including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and mood disorders. Her tone is practical and respectful, and she aims to meet people where they are.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness strategies to build attention and calm, solution-focused work to set short-term goals, and trauma-focused approaches when past hurt is central. These tools are used to address things like anger, addictions, and trauma-related symptoms.

Lorine brings three years of documented experience as an LMSW working in Michigan. She supports people facing complex life changes, multicultural concerns, and issues such as postpartum depression, self-harm, and isolation.

How these approaches shape online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or depression.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and build calm. These tools can help with stress, sleep problems, and emotion regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and day-to-day needs. That choice can be adjusted as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is helpful, or offer work that is easier to continue during life transitions. Ask about available options when scheduling to pick what fits your routine and preferences.
