About Audrey
She uses a client-centered outlook that starts with each person's strengths. Sessions often focus on clear, usable skills for managing stress, mood, and impulsive habits. Cognitive behavior techniques are a common part of her work to shift unhelpful thinking and improve daily choices.
Audrey has experience across community mental health, residential programs, job training, telehealth, and home-based care for older adults. That background informs how she supports people facing housing or food insecurity, complex medical needs, and caregiving stresses. She also offers trauma-sensitive counseling and interventions for anger management and past family dynamics.
Her practice often addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, substance use, relationship and communication problems, and loneliness. Audrey also lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas and has counseled older adults in home settings.
People who prefer straightforward strategies and a strengths-based partner may find her style useful. To begin, she asks about current struggles and personal goals, then helps create step-by-step plans for change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what a person already does well. It helps people set goals and then work toward them at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, and it can help when strong emotions or impulsive behavior get in the way.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Audrey will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and preference.
Session formats are not listed in the therapist biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let conversations continue while someone is sorting out caregiving, health appointments, or work schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT or DBT exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track small changes over time.
