About Audrey

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, ADHD, and issues related to career and self-esteem. Audrey also helps those navigating parenting challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and life changes like divorce or blended family adjustments.

She takes a person-centered approach and avoids a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on what the individual needs right now. Audrey listens without judgment and treats each person as the expert on their life. She brings respect, trust, and steady commitment to the work.

Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings, outpatient community programs, home-based care, and group and individual counseling. That range has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different life stages and situations. Audrey keeps up with new approaches to better support those she sees.

In practical sessions she uses a mix of techniques chosen for the client’s goals. Sometimes that means skill-building and behavior work, and other times it means exploring meaning, values, and emotional experience. She also incorporates mindfulness practices and strategies for managing intense emotions.

Audrey practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She uses a lifespan and multicultural perspective when helping people from varied backgrounds.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication; it is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey will help figure out which methods fit best based on the client’s goals and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to match what the person needs on any given day.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow work to continue between appointments. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose sessions that don’t require video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so therapy stays practical and focused on daily life.
