About Audrey
Audrey Johnsen is an LCSW based in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, career challenges, grief, and life transitions. She also supports those facing end-of-life and hospice concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and money and financial issues. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at making a first step feel manageable.
She spent much of her career in higher education supporting young adults and in hospitals as a medical social worker. That experience shaped how she listens to practical problems alongside emotional pain. She often helps people sort immediate needs while also planning longer-term steps.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, with solution-focused therapy that identifies small, doable changes. She pairs these with client-centered principles to keep the work aimed at each person's goals. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change.
In sessions she aims to build a trusting relationship first and then set clear, realistic goals. Conversations tend to be collaborative and action-oriented, with a focus on what can change now. She helps people practice new ways of coping and make plans that fit their everyday life.
If you are dealing with anxiety, career decisions, grief, caregiving stress, or money worries, she can help you clarify priorities and take concrete steps. To begin, use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's concerns. The therapist creates space for the client to set goals and steer sessions while offering empathy and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and finding personal reasons to move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will decide which combination of methods best fits the situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while they work on anxiety, caregiving stress, grief, or financial worries.
