Audrey Burke-Wardlaw

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and career concerns. Audrey also supports those facing trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and issues tied to identity including LGBT concerns.

She uses a flexible, person-led approach rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on what the individual says matters most, and techniques are chosen to match each person's needs. Audrey emphasizes trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard in her work.

Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings, outpatient community programs, home-based care, and group and couples counseling. That range informs a lifespan perspective and a multicultural approach when she meets someone for the first time. Audrey keeps up with newer approaches so clients can benefit from a range of options.

In sessions she listens without judgment and helps clients name problems and practical steps forward. She draws on methods that teach new skills as well as ways to rethink unhelpful patterns. Clients are treated as the experts on their own lives and collaborate on goals.

People who come for help may leave with clearer plans, coping tools for difficult moments, and a stronger sense of direction. Audrey aims to make therapy a straightforward process that fits into daily life and addresses real concerns in direct, usable ways.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood; it helps with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and life transitions by focusing on what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication and can be useful for intense emotions and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Audrey collaborates with each person to identify goals and then recommends methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow follow-ups or skill practice between in-person meetings when that is helpful. Therapists and licensed professionals often use telehealth to maintain continuity of care, offer flexible scheduling, and support practical skill-building between sessions.
