Audrey Burke-Wardlaw, LPC

Audrey Burke-Wardlaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, relationship struggles, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Audrey also supports clients facing life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues.

She takes a person-focused approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions start by listening to each person’s story and goals. From there she uses a range of methods to match what an individual needs. Audrey emphasizes trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard in her work.

Her background includes work across clinical, outpatient community, hospital inpatient, group, and in-home settings. That variety shapes a practical, flexible way of helping people cope with real-life problems. She uses a lifespan and multicultural perspective to respond to diverse needs.

Audrey draws from several approaches, choosing techniques based on the person in front of her. She stays current with new methods so she can offer options that fit different situations. The aim is to help people build skills, find perspective, and move forward at their own pace.

She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Audrey presents therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and values, which can be useful for relationship, grief, or life-change concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood regulation by teaching ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with emotional regulation, coping with stress, and patterns like codependency or chronic relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Audrey works collaboratively to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping and what isn’t.
