Her clinical credentials are LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and LICSW, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Audrey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach centers on symptom-focused work to reduce anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small behavioral changes to interrupt them. This helps when daily routines or worry cycles make life feel harder. Another approach emphasizes working through traumatic memories and their current effects, using gradual, paced discussion and strategies to manage strong emotions. This can help people who carry painful past events or post-traumatic stress symptoms that affect relationships and day-to-day functioning. Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques and adjust based on what helps. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all method. For practical online therapy details, the biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from wherever is most convenient. Some people prefer web video for face-to-face interaction, while others like shorter audio check-ins; the therapist will discuss which option best matches the client’s needs and daily routine.
