About Matthew Vaughn

Matthew Vaughn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in North Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. He blends a client-centered foundation with practical therapeutic tools to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strains, depression, and a wide range of personal and family concerns.

Known for a down-to-earth and occasionally humorous style, he aims to make the work of change feel collaborative and approachable rather than purely clinical. His practice addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting and family dynamics, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, anger and self-esteem, career questions, and mood disorders such as bipolar. He also brings attention to areas like autism spectrum differences, addiction to drugs and alcohol, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and multicultural or immigration-related challenges.

Clinically, he draws from client-centered therapy while using an eclectic mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Imago Relationship Therapy, Jungian ideas, and Motivational Interviewing to match techniques to each person and situation. As an LPC, he emphasizes working with clients to set clear goals, build skills, and explore meaningful changes at a pace that fits their needs.

Matthew continues to refine his practice through ongoing learning and applies that evolving expertise to support individuals, couples, and families facing a range of emotional and relational difficulties.
