About Audrey

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Audrey also supports people facing career changes, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

Audrey has worked across clinical, outpatient community, hospital inpatient, and in-home settings. She uses a mix of approaches and matches methods to each person’s needs rather than applying a single formula. Sessions are guided by what the client brings and by practical techniques that fit everyday life.

Her practice draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, with elements of existential and mindfulness approaches as useful. That means conversations focus on the person’s experience, skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and tools for managing intense emotions.

Audrey describes her style as respectful and nonjudgmental. She asks clients to describe problems from their own viewpoint and works with them to set goals and test small changes. She also incorporates awareness of cultural and lifespan factors into her work.

People seeking help for family of origin patterns, attachment concerns, adoption or foster-care related issues, blended family challenges, or abandonment worries may find her perspective relevant. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and complicated grief.

Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience. It’s about making space for the person to describe how family patterns and current problems affect daily life and working from their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to test small changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to relationships or work.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful when anger, mood instability, or conflict are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods collaboratively so the approach fits the client’s needs and preferences.

For session logistics, confirm the current online formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people value online sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, choose shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions line up with routines and practical needs.
