Audrey Burke-Wardlaw

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and big life transitions. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, mood concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, and challenges related to identity and LGBT issues.

Audrey uses an individualized approach rather than one fixed method. She listens first and tailors techniques to what each person needs. Sessions draw from several therapeutic styles so the plan fits the person's goals and situation.

Her career includes work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community settings, group programs, and in-home care. That range informs how she supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and aging-related changes.

In the room she aims to build trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard. Audrey encourages people to speak from their point of view without judgment and treats clients as experts on their own lives.

She keeps up with newer approaches and combines them with long-standing methods when useful. The result is a practical mix that can include skill-building, mindfulness practice, and talk-based work to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation.

Audrey works in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and meeting people where they are. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills and can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If an approach isn’t helping, she adapts the plan and tries different techniques together with the client.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during major transitions. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, since platform and scheduling options may vary. Discussing scheduling needs during the matching step helps ensure sessions work with work, caregiving, and daily routines.
