How her approaches shape online therapy
Audrey uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client, and the therapist follows your lead while offering reflection and practical suggestions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, and patterns that affect money decisions or work choices by teaching concrete skills for changing thoughts and habits.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These techniques are useful when strong emotions or relationship conflict make decision making harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Audrey will collaborate with each person to test tools, adjust strategies, and find what fits goals and day-to-day life. That process is flexible and guided by the client's needs and preferences.
