Ava Vaughan, M.Ed, LPC,
About Ava Vaughan (She/Her)
?Ava Vaughan is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia who has been practicing since 2018. Ava uses an integrative approach, including but not limited to drawing from CBT and SFT and incorporating mindfulness to engage clients in understanding their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, the interrelation of those, and how to create change for themselves. Ava’s approach is strengths-based, present-based, and practical. Outside of work, Ava enjoys cooking and baking, dancing, getting together with friends and family, and traveling. She devotes time to her own self-care and personal development by exercising regularly and squeezing in some reading when she can.
