About Audrey

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and life changes. Audrey also supports people with concerns around trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential ideas, and mindfulness work. Audrey selects techniques to fit the individual rather than following a single method for everyone.

Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation, skills training, and problem-solving. Clients can expect discussions about thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills, along with exercises to practice between meetings. She draws on experience in clinical, outpatient, hospital inpatient, and in-home settings to shape how she structures support.

Audrey describes her style as built on trust and respect. She listens without judgment and invites clients to explain concerns in their own words. That stance frames work on communication problems, control issues, codependency, commitment struggles, and other relationship-related topics.

She also brings attention to life-stage and cultural context. That means addressing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family and adoption matters, chronic illness or pain, and challenges linked to abandonment or attachment. Audrey favors a lifespan perspective and a multicultural lens when talking through these issues.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Audrey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by teaching practical skills and gradual behavior changes.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can help with intense emotional reactions, relationship conflicts, and improving communication under stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That might mean starting with short skills work, then adding deeper conversation or mindfulness practices as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format details during the first contact so sessions can be arranged to match daily life and therapeutic goals.
