About Audrey
Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, phobias, and relationship challenges. She also supports people dealing with parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and identity or intimacy questions.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She avoids one-size-fits-all methods and tailors techniques to each person's needs. Sessions emphasize trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard so clients can speak without judgment.
Background and approach
Audrey draws on a range of therapy styles depending on what will be most helpful. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's priorities, cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness and dialectical skills to improve emotional regulation. She also brings existential ideas when people wrestle with meaning and life choices.
She has worked across clinical settings, including hospital inpatient care, outpatient community programs, group work, and in-home support. That breadth informs a flexible, lifespan perspective for people at different stages of life and different challenges. Audrey works with people from diverse backgrounds and adapts her approach to cultural differences.
Her style is collaborative: she listens first, then helps clients try practical steps and new ways of coping. She invites clients to set the pace and goals for their work together.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online, this means sessions begin with the client's priorities and goals so each meeting is useful and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses practical exercises and homework that translate easily to video or phone sessions for anxiety, phobias, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; brief skills coaching can be offered through chat or text between sessions to reinforce practice.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what works. That collaborative process continues over the first few sessions to establish an approach that feels helpful and realistic.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face-to-face for in-depth work, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging makes it easy to check in or get brief coaching between sessions. These options make it possible to keep consistent progress even when life is unpredictable.
