About Audrey
Audrey Johnsen is an LCSW based in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked in higher education supporting young adults and in hospital settings as a medical social worker. Audrey focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anxiety, grief, career challenges, and relationship concerns.
Her work often supports people facing medical crises and their caregivers, including end-of-life and hospice situations. She also helps with parenting strain, midlife transitions, feelings of isolation, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Audrey uses everyday language and clear goals in sessions so people know what to expect.
Audrey’s approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That means she listens to priorities first, then helps identify small changes that can make life feel more manageable. Motivational interviewing is used when people want guidance on making lasting changes, like career shifts or coping plans.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and concrete steps. Audrey likes to set short-term goals and track progress from week to week. She draws on her hospital and campus experience to address practical problems alongside emotions.
People who come to her can expect a warm, engaging style and straight talk about next steps. She aims to help clients explore the past, face the present, and plan toward a brighter future. If someone needs help sorting priorities after a major life event, Audrey provides steady support and actionable tools.
How Audrey’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening first and following what matters most to the client. It helps when people need someone to hear their priorities and build goals around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey will work together with clients to decide whether a client-centered check-in, CBT skills practice, or a solution-focused plan best fits the issue and the person’s goals. She adapts methods to the needs and pace of each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, which can help people maintain momentum after a crisis or during caregiving responsibilities. Online work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in between appointments or to meet when travel is difficult.
