About Audra
Audra Tate-Kennedy is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also notes experience with blended family challenges, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
Audra invites people to bring the facts of their situation and their own strengths into sessions. She treats clients as the expert on their lives and helps them clarify what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels or quick fixes.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma and abuse. She uses a mix of approaches to address symptoms and patterns that keep coming up. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, processing difficult memories, or learning brief strategies to manage stress in the moment.
In sessions she guides people through skill practice, problem-solving, and short-term plans that make daily life more manageable. She also addresses relationship patterns and communication habits that leave someone feeling worn out or overlooked. The goal is clearer choices and steadier coping, not a one-size solution.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk about goals and next steps. Audra helps clients set realistic, manageable actions between meetings so progress shows up in everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Audra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach breaks problems into small steps and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions. EMDR is used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on current life, often pairing guided attention with talk work to lessen emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss the options with each person, consider goals and comfort, and adjust methods over time. The work is shared - the therapist suggests strategies and the client decides what fits their life.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to schedule, or let someone avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while applying what they learn to everyday situations.
