About Audrey
Audrey Hajek brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. Audrey holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and has four years of professional experience in Virginia.
She works in a way that respects each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Her sessions focus on clear, useful tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process painful experiences at a pace the client chooses. Audrey aims to make each session feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. In practice she listens first, then helps set small goals that fit everyday life.
She supports people through common crises like overwhelming worry, persistent low mood, and reactions after difficult events. She also addresses self-harm concerns with careful attention and safety planning when needed. Audrey offers sessions in English and works with people located in Virginia.
She provides a mix of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her approach emphasizes steady progress and practical skills that people can apply between sessions. For parents or guardians looking for help around family stress, she brings a calm, respectful style and focuses on what can change now.
Audrey aims to make starting therapy as straightforward as possible and to support each person’s next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most to the client and building on their existing strengths to solve problems and make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In virtual sessions this often means setting small, doable tasks between meetings and reviewing progress together to see what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult experiences in a paced way that feels manageable. Online work with this approach emphasizes safety, gradual exposure to memories or triggers when ready, and building coping skills to reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on how the client responds and what feels most helpful.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls can recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and apply what’s learned between sessions.
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.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
