Audrey Burke-Wardlaw , LPC

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to LGBT identity. Audrey also helps with grief, career changes, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and other life transitions, including adoption and foster care matters.

She draws on practical therapies to match what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and honest conversation. Audrey centers respect and empathy and treats each person as the expert on their life.

Her background includes work in clinical mental health, outpatient community settings, hospital inpatient care, and in-home services. That range informs how she tailors support for someone coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family issues, or long-term mood concerns. She aims to simplify options and help people find steps that feel doable.

In sessions she emphasizes building trust, listening without judgment, and helping clients identify practical strategies. Audrey uses a life-span and multicultural perspective to make therapy fit different ages and cultural backgrounds. Her approach mixes talking, skill-building, and mindfulness practices based on what a person needs.

People seeking help can expect straightforward guidance and an emphasis on workable change. Audrey offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to connect around busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Audrey commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people make choices that fit their values; it helps when someone needs support sorting out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Audrey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. She adapts methods based on your needs and checks in as therapy progresses to make sure the approach still fits.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you have more face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a quiet check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can work for short updates, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
