Audrey Burke-Wardlaw, LPC

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of practice. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and life changes. Audrey offers calm, straightforward support and meets each person where they are without judgment.

She draws on many approaches instead of one fixed method. Audrey uses client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skill work, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices as needed. The style is collaborative - the client’s goals guide which methods are used.

Audrey has worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and in-home settings. That variety informs how she shapes sessions, whether someone needs short-term coping tools or longer-term work on self esteem, attachment, or complex life challenges. Her work has included youth, individuals, groups, and couples across different settings.

Sessions focus on listening, building trust, and practical steps people can try between meetings. Audrey avoids a one-size-fits-all approach and adapts pacing and tools for each person’s needs. She keeps up with evolving counseling methods to offer clear options rather than jargon.

People who want guidance with career stress, ADHD, parenting strain, chronic illness, or relationship communication will find direct support and skill-focused work. Audrey emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own perspective when planning next steps.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own experience and goals. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what the person says, and helps them clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and parenting issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and mood regulation. Sessions include simple exercises and practical homework to try between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal communication. It can help people who struggle with mood swings, anger, or persistent relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans over time. This helps match tools and pacing to each person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video or phone choices based on what works best for them rather than promising a specific format.
