About Audra

Audra Schovan is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of professional experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and holds an LCSW in Texas. Audra combines clinical training with long personal experience raising and homeschooling her family for over 22 years.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Audra focuses on practical skills and clear next steps in each session.

Background and approach

She helps clients name priorities and build tools to manage symptoms and everyday stressors. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent practicing skills that can be used between meetings. Her background includes supporting people through divorce and separation, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and midlife transitions.

She also has experience with post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, sexuality, social anxiety and workplace issues. That range informs a flexible approach tailored to each person’s situation. Audra uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide work.

She views clients as the experts on their lives and partners with them to set realistic goals. The practice emphasizes steady progress, practical coping strategies, and respectful collaboration. Based in Texas, Audra conducts sessions in English.

Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing everyday functioning. She invites people ready to make changes to take a first step toward clearer direction and more manageable days.

Practical approaches that work well online

Audra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage thoughts, feelings, and reactions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and improve presence during stressful moments.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions forward-looking and efficient. That approach zeroes in on strengths and small changes that move a person toward their goals. Together, these methods give a mix of skill-building, moment-to-moment coping, and short-term problem solving that fits many life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions focus on what matters most to the person seeking help.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep a steady rhythm of sessions. They also allow people to practice skills in real time and check in between meetings in ways that suit everyday life.

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.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
