Dr. Audrey Berdeski

Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She moved from a career as a Doctor of Chiropractic into counseling and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting stress, career hurdles, OCD, ADHD, and those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions are tailored to each person, with conversation and goals shaped around what matters most to them.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, humanistic influences, and solution-focused techniques to create a practical plan for change. She integrates these approaches to help people notice patterns, test new ways of coping, and set achievable steps toward better functioning.

Dr. Berdeski also brings experience in Gottman-informed relationship work, mindfulness practices, and existential perspectives when they fit a person's goals. She has explored manifesting for abundance and energy work and can discuss those interests as part of a broader plan when appropriate.

Appointments are offered Monday through Thursday during daytime hours and on Saturday and Sunday mornings. She uses messaging between sessions and checks messages twice daily to respond as soon as possible. If someone is ready to begin, they can start with the platform intake and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Dr. Berdeski uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that aim to be practical and easy to apply at home. CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness work focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm in everyday moments.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns that affect relationships and mood. That approach looks at early influences and long-standing habits so people can choose different responses going forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss your goals and preferences, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on what helps you make progress. Clients are involved in setting goals and reviewing which tools feel most useful.

The biography notes regular daytime and weekend morning appointment times and daily messaging between sessions, but does not list specific online formats. Confirm current session options before booking to know which meeting formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or use audio-focused conversations if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions and weekly routines.
