About Audrey

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, codependency, and other life changes. Her approach is calm and straightforward and aimed at practical change.

She meets people where they are and treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on building trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard so clients can speak without judgment. Audrey says one size does not fit all and tailors work to each person's needs.

Her practice draws from a range of methods, including client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. She picks tools that match the issue and the person's goals rather than following a set script.

Audrey has worked in hospitals, outpatient community settings, in homes, and with groups and couples across the life span. That background informs a flexible style that adapts to different situations and cultural contexts.

In sessions she listens for what matters most, helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier, and supports learning new ways to cope. People who want a respectful, steady guide for practical change and deeper self-understanding may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients find their own solutions; it aims to build trust and clarity about personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people test ideas and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness useful for stress, anger, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools like guided mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and DBT skill practice in between sessions to support steady progress.
