About Audra

Audra Schovan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and combines clinical training with decades of real-life caregiving and homeschooling experience to inform her work.

Background and approach

Audra focuses on addressing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, and the practical challenges that come with major life transitions. Her practice emphasizes collaboration: she works alongside clients to identify goals and to build concrete skills that support daily functioning and emotional resilience.

Audra draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness strategies, and solution-focused methods to help people manage symptoms, improve communication, and navigate situations like divorce, grief, parenting concerns, workplace struggles, and post-traumatic stress.

Her style is grounded in connection and respect for each person’s knowledge about their own life, and she aims to create a supportive space for those ready to pursue change.

Practical Approaches and Online Access to Care

Audra uses evidence-informed methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; Audra works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting techniques as progress is made. She emphasizes skill-building and practical strategies so clients can apply new tools between sessions and tailor the plan as circumstances change.

Online therapy with Audra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and preferences. These formats make it easier to access regular care from wherever a client is located in Texas and support continuity of work during life transitions or busy seasons.
