About Audrey
Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and concerns related to adoption and foster care. Audrey aims to make therapy simple and practical for everyday life.
She draws on a range of methods to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed style. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and understanding what matters most to the client. Audrey emphasizes trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard in every meeting.
Her background includes work across clinical, outpatient community, hospital inpatient, and in-home settings. That range has shaped a flexible approach that adapts to different life stages and circumstances. She uses a life span perspective to help people at various points in their lives.
Audrey uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and mindfulness practices depending on the situation. She also keeps cultural context in mind and adjusts her methods for diverse backgrounds.
In sessions she listens without judgment and invites clients to explain their concerns in their own words. The process is collaborative - goals are set together and practical steps are tried and reviewed. Her style is steady, empathetic, and focused on what will help someone move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Client-centered therapy is built around listening and responding to what the client says. The therapist follows the client's lead to help clarify goals and priorities, which can make sessions feel personal and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often uses short exercises and homework to practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress; it can be useful for people who need concrete tools for immediate situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to meet during workday breaks or between obligations. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to focus on practical problem solving, emotional support, and skill-building that work in everyday settings.
