Audra Nihart

Practical approaches for online care and skills building

Audra uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more productive thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood concerns. She also incorporates client-centered therapy principles, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard while working toward concrete changes.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another resource she draws on, particularly for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques can be taught in bite-sized, practical exercises during sessions and practiced between meetings to support daily coping.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Audra approaches that choice collaboratively, listening to each client’s priorities and adjusting interventions to match their goals, preferences, and stage of change. She frames therapy as a partnership in which methods are selected and refined together.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support without geographic travel, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor the format to what works best for each person.
