About Audrey

Audrey DiFilippo is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 21 years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, trauma, and related life challenges. Audrey aims to make the first step easier by offering direct, respectful care and straightforward support.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions often begin by clarifying values and what matters most. From there she works with clients to develop useful tools and clear next steps. Audrey draws from several evidence-based methods to guide work in the room.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice what matters and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered and mindfulness practices help build self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Over two decades of experience has included a wide range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, parenting stress, intimacy and communication problems, caregiver fatigue, and issues that follow divorce or loss. She also addresses less talked-about areas like hoarding, fertility-related distress, and forgiveness work. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where direction and meaning feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on specific patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to shift them. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress and life circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving demands. Remote formats also let people use the techniques learned in real life and come back to discuss what worked and what didn’t, which can speed up practical progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
