About Audrey
Audrey Johnsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Dakota and Colorado with 15 years of experience. She has worked in higher education supporting young adults and in hospital settings as a medical social worker. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, relationship issues, and caregiving during medical crises.
She helps people talk through life changes, parenting strains, and midlife questions. She also supports those facing chronic illness, aging and geriatric concerns, end-of-life planning, and the practical stress of caregiving. Money and career pressures are addressed alongside emotional concerns.
Her approach uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow the client's lead. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding motivation to make changes.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and short-term strategies as well as exploring how past experiences affect present choices. She brings experience from medical and campus settings to help people navigate systems and get practical supports when needed.
Audrey explains options and works collaboratively to pick what fits each person's situation. She asks about daily routines, stress points, and realistic goals. The aim is to make therapy useful for everyday life, whether the need is for coping skills, grief support, or planning next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities. In practice this looks like asking about daily life, naming what matters most, and using those topics to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on finding and changing thoughts and behaviors that increase stress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and to build practical coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Audrey will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue care during medical appointments or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational interviewing prompts, and solution-focused planning to remote sessions to keep the work practical and goal-oriented.
