About Audrey

Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She transitioned from a career as a Doctor of Chiropractic into counseling and brings that practical outlook to her work. She meets people where they are and focuses on real-life problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, and she mixes conversation with clear strategies to make day-to-day life more manageable.

Dr. Berdeski draws on cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic ideas alongside humanistic and solution-focused approaches. That mix lets her address unhelpful thinking, recurring patterns from the past, and practical steps for change. She also integrates mindfulness tools to help with grounding and emotional regulation.

She has worked with people facing physical trauma, emotional abuse, obsessive-compulsive concerns, attention challenges, and major life transitions including midlife crisis and caregiving strain. She also supports those coping with grief, bipolar mood concerns, and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Dr. Berdeski offers messaging contact in between sessions and checks messages twice daily. Her schedule includes daytime appointments Monday through Thursday and morning appointments on weekends. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person to the next step toward scheduling.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Dr. Berdeski uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people reflect on meaning, life choices, and major transitions such as a midlife crisis.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. This collaborative process helps shape sessions to match each person's needs and rhythm.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she schedules appointments. In practice, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and thought-work between meetings, so progress continues outside scheduled sessions.
