Audrey Burke-Wardlaw

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Audrey also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, intimacy questions, and concerns tied to identity and LGBT issues.

She uses a person-focused style that avoids one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions center on listening, respect, and helping each person name their goals. Audrey aims to build trust quickly so people can talk honestly about painful topics like abandonment, attachment wounds, or past trauma.

Her background includes work in inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, community settings, and in-home care. That range shaped a flexible approach and comfort with many life stages and medical or caregiving stressors. She draws on 25 years of practice to support people through career transitions, loss, and major life changes.

Audrey integrates methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. The choice of techniques is guided by each person’s needs rather than following a single model. She emphasizes practical tools for day-to-day coping and clearer decision making.

People who reach out can expect a nonjudgmental atmosphere and steady support. Audrey invites clients to describe their situation in their own words and works collaboratively to set steps forward. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Audrey uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. It is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and situations that need steady, supportive conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. CBT often includes straightforward exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress-related symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflict.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Audrey works with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is seen. Clients help shape which techniques feel most useful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also makes it simpler to continue work during life transitions or while managing caregiving and health-related demands.
