About Matthew

Matthew Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends Jungian ideas with down-to-earth, person-centered work. He aims to make change feel manageable and sometimes even a little enjoyable. His approach is practical and conversational, with room for depth when clients want to explore meaning and inner life.

He has spent a decade as an LPC and prior clinical work in psychiatric and addiction settings. That background gave him experience helping people facing severe mood and substance concerns.

Background and approach

He also maintained a long independent practice where he used individual and relationship-focused methods. Matthew trained in a graduate program rooted in humanistic and transpersonal traditions and continues to study therapy approaches. He draws on Jungian Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among others.

Sessions often include talking through current problems, looking at patterns, and identifying small, practical steps forward. He uses straightforward language and a sense of humor when appropriate. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and a focus on what they want to change.

If someone is dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, or questions about identity and meaning, he helps them sort it out. Matthew works with concerns across mood, trauma, and relational life, and has interest in areas such as autism spectrum issues, sexual orientation and LGBT matters, compulsions, and multicultural topics.

He offers therapy from North Carolina and welcomes people who prefer online formats.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Matthew blends Jungian Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit each person. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and life patterns to help people find meaning and address deep emotional themes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time. The aim is to combine deeper exploration with concrete steps so the work feels useful and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full-session conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different schedules and comfort levels.
