About Audra
Audra Schovan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes among the issues she addresses. Audra also notes work related to parenting and communication challenges.
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and brings both clinical experience and long-term personal experience raising and homeschooling a family. Audra describes helping people sort priorities, set goals, and build practical skills to manage difficult emotions and situations.
Her sessions focus on concrete steps people can take between meetings. That can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and practicing small behavioral changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her approaches and also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when appropriate.
Audra says clients lead the planning and she supports the goal-setting and skill-building process. She has worked with survivors of sexual abuse and with people navigating divorce, grief, or midlife transitions.
People who prefer clear, structured work on symptoms and habits may find this approach appealing. Audra notes that faith is part of her personal background, and she works alongside clients to clarify values and next steps. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Audra uses CBT, mindfulness and solution-focused work online
Audra lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary method and uses it to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT work often involves setting clear goals, keeping brief records of thoughts and actions, and testing new coping strategies between sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple moment-to-moment attention skills that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her approach as well, which emphasizes small, practical steps and quickly identifying what already works for a client.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Audra will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as work proceeds. The first sessions are used to clarify priorities and set measurable short-term goals.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. They can allow for shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and be more convenient around work or family commitments.
