About Audrey
Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She moved into counseling after a career as a Doctor of Chiropractic and now supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.
She draws on a mix of practical approaches, including cognitive-behavioral tools, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness, existential thinking, and the Gottman Method where it fits. Sessions are customized to each person, so conversations and exercises reflect what matters to that client.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on understandable steps you can try between sessions. Dr.
Berdeski has worked with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and with those managing mood disorders and complex life transitions. She also offers coaching-style support for goals like manifesting abundance alongside more traditional therapeutic work.
Her approach blends talk, skills practice, and reflection depending on the issue. Appointments are offered Monday through Thursday daytime and weekend mornings on Saturday and Sunday.
She uses messaging between sessions and checks messages twice daily to follow up on progress. People in Michigan can expect a collaborative process that centers clear goals and steady, practical steps.
Her practice aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and navigate difficult changes over time. If someone is ready to take a step toward feeling better, she offers steady support and straightforward guidance.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Dr. Berdeski often uses the Gottman Method to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction patterns and strengthen communication in close relationships. That approach focuses on practical skills for handling conflict and rebuilding trust in day-to-day moments.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Existential therapy appears in her work as well, inviting people to discuss meaning, values, and choices when facing life transitions or questions about purpose.
Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The process is gradual and shaped by what clients say works for them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for detailed skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, and follow-up between appointments. These options aim to make scheduling easier and therapy more flexible for different routines and needs.
