Dr. Audrey Berdeski, LPC

Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She moved from a background in chiropractic care into counseling and now focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Her style is warm, direct, and interactive, aimed at making conversations feel respectful and useful from the first session.

She uses a mix of practical tools and deeper reflection to help people find ways forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. She also blends psychodynamic ideas and humanistic perspectives to explore life patterns and personal meaning. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, achievable goals.

Dr. Berdeski pays attention to how medical history and physical trauma can shape emotional responses, and she adapts sessions for those concerns. She also offers coaching-style support when clients want focused guidance on goals like career changes or managing caregiver stress. Her approach avoids stigmatizing labels and centers the person in front of her.

Appointments are scheduled Monday through Thursday during daytime hours, with additional morning slots on weekends. She uses messaging between sessions and checks messages twice daily to respond as needed. People who are considering therapy are encouraged to reach out and begin the intake steps when they feel ready.

Her additional interests include work around aging and geriatric issues, relationship patterns, and coping with midlife changes. She aims to tailor each plan to the person’s concerns and practical needs.

How her approaches guide online work

Dr. Berdeski often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from past relationships and how they shape current feelings and choices.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy principles to help people stay present and notice stressful thoughts without reacting to them. That can be useful for grief, caregiving strain, and midlife transitions where attention to the moment reduces overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing session times that match daytime or weekend mornings. Messaging between sessions is part of this therapist’s practice and she checks messages twice daily to follow up between meetings. Discuss scheduling and the best format when you begin the matching process.
