About Audra

Audra D'Eliso is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical therapy to help people untangle persistent problems. She focuses on clear steps you can use in daily life. Her work centers on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.

She draws on 13 years of experience in the mental health field. Audra blends cognitive behavioral methods with skills-based strategies to address patterns that keep people stuck.

Background and approach

She aims to reduce overwhelming emotions and replace harmful habits with manageable routines. In sessions she listens for the specific thoughts and behaviors that cause trouble. Then she helps clients test different ways of responding.

This tends to make problems feel smaller and more solvable over time. Audra also uses mindfulness practices to increase awareness of difficult feelings. Narrative techniques help people reframe painful stories about themselves.

Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels unsure or stuck. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients set clear goals and track progress.

Parents and families will find concrete tools for communication, boundaries, and handling everyday stressors. Audra practices in Arizona and conducts sessions in English. She can work with concerns such as trauma, grief, addictions, anger, and self-esteem.

Her aim is to help people move toward a life that feels more meaningful and manageable.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting work

Audra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT helps people break cycles of worry, low mood, and avoidance by testing small, concrete changes in daily life.

She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. DBT teaches specific tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication, which can be useful when family stress and parenting demands feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may blend CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or narrative techniques depending on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family schedules, childcare, and work. They also let people practice new skills in real time and check in between sessions when needed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
