About Audra
Audra Tate-Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who focuses on reducing anxiety and stress. She offers steady support when life feels overwhelming and helps people facing relationship and family tensions. Her style is straightforward and strength-based, aimed at helping clients take manageable steps forward.
Audra brings 14 years of experience working with grief, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions center on understanding what matters most to each person and on building practical skills that fit everyday life. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That mix lets her tailor work to reduce anxious thoughts, process difficult memories, and find clear next steps.
Clients can expect focused sessions that aim to make real changes between meetings. Audra practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. She believes people are the experts on their own stories and draws on their strengths while offering guidance and tools.
The tone in sessions is collaborative, respectful, and geared toward usable strategies. Parents reading on a phone can know the first step is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. From there, Audra will work with each person to set goals and pick approaches that fit their situation.
Approaches that work well online and how they help
Audra commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address anxiety and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxious reactions and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity over time.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people stay grounded and notice patterns in their thinking without judgment. Together these methods give options for managing symptoms, resolving past hurts, and setting small achievable goals. Determining which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction that supports guided exercises and EMDR-informed processing. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for focused conversations. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, practice new skills, or handle quick coping needs. These formats provide flexibility so people can fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
