About Audrey
Audrey Johnsen is an LCSW in Colorado who brings 15 years of clinical social work experience to her practice. She draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods alongside client-centered listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in higher education supporting young adults and in hospital settings as a medical social worker, where she supported patients and caregivers through medical crises and end-of-life situations. Her style is described as warm and engaging, with an emphasis on building trust so clients can clarify goals and take practical steps toward change.
Audrey works with issues such as parenting and family dynamics, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and life transitions like midlife change or grief. She also addresses matters related to money, purpose, and isolation with pragmatic, goal-focused techniques.
Clients can expect collaboration that explores past experiences, acknowledges present realities, and plans toward a healthier future. Audrey holds licensure as an LCSW in North Dakota (ND LCSW 6222) and Colorado (CO LCSW 9927137) and conducts sessions in English from her Colorado location.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood; it often includes practical homework and skills practice to build new patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and goals at their own pace. These methods can be especially useful for managing stress, coping with life changes, grief, and career or relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey will work together with each client to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may blend techniques to support practical problem solving and emotional processing.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or medical responsibilities and to access support from home while working toward concrete goals.
