About Audra

Audra D'Eliso brings a cognitive-behavioral lens to therapeutic work, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking and reshape patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, mood swings, and addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

She combines practical skill-building with reflective exploration to address trauma, grief, depression, and relationship difficulties, guiding people toward clearer coping strategies and more purposeful choices. With 13 years in the mental health field and licensure as an LPC (Arizona LPC-15734), Audra draws on DBT, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

Her experience includes work with mood disorders, panic and anxiety, bipolar-related challenges, and issues such as codependency, abandonment, and impulsivity. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to reduce symptoms and uncover values that support a more satisfying life.

Audra offers sessions in English from Arizona and provides multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Prospective clients who want help managing anger, parenting stress, isolation, or life transitions can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on her availability.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Audra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood; CBT typically involves setting goals, practicing new skills, and tracking progress. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then combines elements from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or narrative techniques as needed so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats allow clients to practice skills between meetings, check in more frequently when useful, and access therapy from wherever they are in Arizona. The variety of options supports continuity of care and makes it easier to maintain momentum toward stated goals.
