Dr. Audrey Berdeski, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Audrey

Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She moved from a background as a Doctor of Chiropractic into counseling and now focuses on emotional and life challenges.

Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, relationship difficulties, and LGBT-related issues among other areas. She uses clear, direct conversation and practical steps to help people manage problems and make changes.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are tailored to each person, and she mixes different techniques to fit the issue at hand.

That might mean skill-building, focused conversations, or deeper exploration depending on what a person needs. She has helped people who experienced emotional or physical trauma and those facing parenting or career stress. She also brings experience with coaching-style approaches and some complementary practices she has learned outside traditional counseling.

She aims to support clients in making concrete progress. Dr. Berdeski offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

She checks messages regularly between sessions and uses them to keep work moving forward. Her availability includes daytime weekdays and some weekend mornings. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

From there she works with the client to set goals and a plan that fits their life and needs.

Online approaches that suit busy family lives

Dr. Berdeski commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and stress-management skills to help with day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.

She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, deeper exploration, or a combination of both and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for follow-up and check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep work moving between meetings. The variety of ways to connect can help people maintain momentum while balancing family and other responsibilities.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
