About Audrey
Audrey Hajek is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on practical, evidence-informed methods and a respectful, client-led stance. With a focus on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and trauma-focused practices, she supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family-related concerns, and self-harm.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes building on each person’s strengths while developing skills to manage distressing thoughts and behaviors. Drawing on four years of professional experience in Virginia, Audrey frames change as a collaborative process and encourages clients to identify realistic goals.
She emphasizes that choosing to seek help is a courageous step and offers guidance, validation, and skill-building to help people move toward greater well-being. Sessions aim to balance practical strategies with empathetic listening so clients feel both supported and empowered to make meaningful changes.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often involves skill-building and practical exercises that clients can use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences while the therapist follows the client’s lead and highlights personal strengths. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their impact and support recovery from trauma and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate which techniques fit best and adjust the plan over time so care reflects what is most helpful for the person in front of them.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and provide options for different communication styles. These formats help people access licensed professionals from their own location and maintain continuity of care while balancing other life commitments.
