Audrey DiFilippo , LCMHC

Audrey DiFilippo is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career stress. Her practice emphasizes women's issues among other areas of focus.

She brings 21 years of professional experience to sessions. Audrey keeps the tone compassionate and non-judgmental. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals.

Sessions focus on identifying values and what matters most to the client. Audrey uses practical tools to build coping skills and create intentional steps forward. Conversations are tailored to the person's interests and circumstances.

Her methods draw on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, client-centered care, and solution-focused steps. These are used in ways that fit each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Audrey emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. She aims to make sessions a comfortable place to share honestly and try new ways of coping. The goal is steady progress through concrete strategies and ongoing support.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values-based choices matter.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, worry, panic, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods to try first based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something isn't working or needs to be tweaked.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and screen-share worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or for people who find written communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
