About Audrey

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, and parenting challenges. Audrey also supports people facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and career or life transitions.

She describes a straightforward counseling style built on respect and listening. Sessions center on the client’s viewpoint and goals. Audrey adapts methods to individual needs rather than using one set approach for everyone.

Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings, outpatient community programs, home-based care, and group and couple work. That variety informs how she matches strategies to practical life demands. She stays current with evolving counseling approaches and draws on multiple techniques when helpful.

Audrey commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the person brings, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. She also integrates mindfulness and existential perspectives when they support the client’s aims.

In sessions she emphasizes trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard. She avoids making assumptions and invites clients to describe their concerns in their own words. Her approach focuses on clear, practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Audrey provides counseling in English and works across a wide range of life stages and issues. People interested in beginning can follow the site’s intake flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and decide goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, testable changes that reduce anger and anxiety. It suits practical problems like workplace frustration or recurring arguments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and shifting based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. When arranging online work, consider practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in if schedules are tight. Some formats can make it easier to use tools like CBT worksheets or DBT skill coaching between meetings. Ask about formats during the matching process so arrangements match your routines and goals.
