About Audrey
Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She is comfortable addressing issues related to self-esteem, anger, intimacy, parenting concerns, career shifts, ADHD, and mood disorders such as bipolar.
Audrey aims to meet each person where they are and build a trusting, respectful relationship from the first session. She uses straightforward, person-focused care rather than one-size-fits-all methods.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, drawing from several therapeutic approaches. Audrey emphasizes listening without judgment and working collaboratively to set meaningful goals. Her background spans inpatient hospital settings, outpatient clinics, community programs, group work, and in-home services.
That variety informs a flexible way of working and an ability to adapt to different life situations and stressors. Audrey keeps up with new methods to expand how she can help people tackle persistent problems. In the therapy room she centers trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard.
She encourages clients to describe their concerns in their own words and treats them as the expert on their life. The focus is on practical steps, coping skills, and clearer choices that fit daily life. Audrey works with adults in Georgia and offers services in English.
Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build skills for longer-term wellbeing while honoring each person's background and goals.
Therapy approaches and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship and treating the client as the expert in their life. It helps people who want a supportive space to understand feelings and make choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping under pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what works in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily routines.
