About Audrey
Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and related life changes. Her approach emphasizes listening first and tailoring support to each person’s needs.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Audrey uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also draws on client-centered ways of working so the person sets the pace and priorities in the room.
Background and approach
Audrey uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help calm attention and reduce reactivity. She blends methods rather than following a single formula so therapy fits the person, not the other way around.
Her background includes work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community programs, and home-based settings. That range informs how she supports people through grief, anger, chronic illness, or caregiving stress. She pays attention to cultural context and life stage when planning care.
Sessions are built on respect, trust, and unconditional positive regard. Audrey invites people to describe problems in their own words and helps them identify realistic next steps. She aims to be collaborative, direct, and encouraging as clients try new ways of coping and relating.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the person sets goals and pace; it helps people who need empathy and support while sorting out priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and develop healthier habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT techniques can help when emotional ups and downs or impulsive behaviors create problems in daily life.
Finding the best fit is part of the work. Audrey will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets hectic.
