About Audrey

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. Her practice also covers anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

She draws on several well-established methods and matches them to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking when anxiety or mood gets in the way. She also uses mindfulness practices and emotionally aware strategies to help manage strong feelings.

Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings, outpatient clinics, community programs, group work, and home-based services. That variety informs a flexible way of working with different life circumstances and stressors. She says she avoids one-size-fits-all counseling and adapts techniques to the individual.

Audrey emphasizes respect and listening. She asks clients to describe their concerns in their own words and builds treatment plans from those descriptions. Her approach aims to reduce immediate distress and build skills for handling recurring problems.

People who want clear explanations of options and steady support through transitions may find her approach practical. She has worked across the lifespan and with diverse cultural backgrounds, and she keeps current with newer counseling methods she can offer in sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping a person describe their own goals. It is useful for people who want a therapist to follow their lead and clarify what matters most in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and for managing stress with practical exercises.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking with one fixed method.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue care across life changes. Licensed professionals adapt materials and exercises to work well over distance, and sessions focus on practical skills that can be used between meetings.
