About Audrey
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered approach to help people change unhelpful thinking and strengthen their own choices. Sessions often include skill building for anger management, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Audrey also offers trauma-sensitive counseling that looks at how past experiences affect current behavior and relationships.
Her background includes telehealth work, community mental health, residential programs, job training, and supporting older adults in home settings. Audrey has experience working with foster care situations and coordinating with local social services when needed. This range of settings informs how she helps people navigate practical barriers to wellbeing.
She pays attention to the social stresses that affect different genders and the special circumstances that can impact relationships. In addition to anxiety and depression, she supports people facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and workplace issues. Her approach blends skills practice, narrative reflection, and mindfulness exercises.
Audrey encourages straightforward goal-setting and uses the client strengths model to build plans that fit each person. She invites potential clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see if her style feels right.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Audrey uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address how past harm affects current functioning. This approach pays attention to traumatic memories and helps people build skills to manage upsetting thoughts and reactions, which can help with symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, or mood swings.She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the persons goals and strengths. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people set goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of reacting, useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey collaborates with each person to match methods to needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into daily life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering a way to continue care from home or work around other responsibilities. Therapists can use exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices during online sessions to support skill building and progress.
