About Audra
Audra Tate-Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related issues, depression, and life transitions.
Clients can expect practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that came from the family someone grew up in and how those patterns show up now. Audra uses structured techniques alongside reflective discussion so people leave with steps they can try between sessions.
Her work often addresses blended family issues, codependency, and communication problems. She helps people look at family of origin issues without assigning blame, and she supports women dealing with gender-related pressures and role expectations.
Audra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods. That mix lets her shift between examining thoughts and behaviors, practicing present-moment awareness, and setting short-term, achievable goals.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. People who want to change recurring patterns are invited to complete a short intake and make a plan for the next steps. The first paragraph above serves as a quick summary for mobile readers, with the rest offering more on background and approach.
How Audra’s approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often involve setting clear homework, reviewing patterns, and practicing small experiments between meetings. EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of distressing memories or reactions through guided processing; in remote sessions the therapist guides eye movement or similar bilateral stimulation while tracking responses, which can help with memories that still feel raw.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audra will discuss goals and preferences and together choose which methods to try first. That collaborative process may shift as progress is made and as different techniques prove useful for specific problems like anxiety, relationship patterns, or family of origin concerns.
The site notes session logistics on the booking page, so confirm current session options before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use video or phone formats, but please verify the exact formats offered before you book a first appointment.
