About Audrey
Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She moved into counseling after a prior career as a Doctor of Chiropractic and now focuses on emotional and practical problems people bring to therapy.
She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and interactive. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and avoids stigmatizing labels.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person so talk and activities match what they need right now. Dr. Berdeski uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also draws on psychodynamic and existential perspectives to look at patterns that repeat over time. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are used when they help someone get unstuck. She has worked with people who have experienced emotional or physical trauma and with those facing relationship conflict, caregiving stress, or life transitions.
Dr. Berdeski also supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, along with challenges such as bipolar disorder and other mood issues. Practical communication is part of her approach.
Sessions may include problem-solving, short homework tasks, and grounding exercises. She checks messages between sessions and offers a mix of live meetings and messaging to fit daily life. Her aim is to help people move forward with clearer goals and manageable steps.
She encourages small, steady changes and stays focused on what will help someone feel more capable and less overwhelmed.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Dr. Berdeski commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety going and testing small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and build calm in everyday moments.She also integrates psychodynamic and existential ideas to understand recurring relationship patterns and deeper questions about meaning and choice. These approaches help when someone wants to explore why certain issues keep returning, not just fix a single symptom. Choosing an approach is collaborative: she will talk with each person about goals, try methods that seem promising, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions use video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you work face to face for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and shifting schedules.
