About Audrey

Audrey Johnsen is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She practices from Colorado and helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, career transitions, and medical or caregiving challenges. Her manner is warm and direct, and she aims to build trust so clients can begin making changes.

She draws on client-centered work to listen deeply and follow what matters most to each person. That listening shapes short-term goal setting and practical next steps.

Background and approach

Audrey also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going and then test new ways of thinking. Solution-focused methods are woven into sessions so conversations move toward concrete steps clients can try between meetings. She also brings motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change.

Together these approaches offer a mix of reflection and action to fit different needs. Audrey has worked in higher education supporting young adults and in hospital settings as a medical social worker. That background informs her work with people facing medical crises, hospice and end-of-life concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

She also addresses parenting strain, relationship difficulties, and midlife or career transitions. Sessions tend to focus on realistic goals, coping skills, and practical behavior changes that fit daily life. People looking for help with self-esteem, life purpose, isolation, or financial stress will find a straightforward, compassionate approach aimed at steady progress.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the client, which helps clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that fit a person's pace and circumstances.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do deeper conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text are good for brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when someone wants support without scheduling a full call. These options make ongoing care more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
