About Audra

LCSW in Texas with seven years' clinical experience, Audra Schovan focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and combines professional practice with extensive lived experience raising and homeschooling her family for over two decades.

Audra works with people facing divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, and issues around pregnancy and childbirth. She also addresses sexuality concerns, social anxiety and phobia, workplace stress, forgiveness, and parenting-related strain. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most to the client and identify practical steps forward.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In session she helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior, practice present-focused awareness, and set achievable short-term goals. The emphasis is on building concrete skills clients can use between meetings.

Audra describes the client as the expert on their life. She positions herself as a collaborator who helps people name goals and learn tools to reach them. Conversations are direct and task-oriented when helpful, with space for processing emotions and past harm.

She works in English and holds her Texas LCSW. People considering work with her are asked to follow the site’s process to indicate preferences, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Audra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems such as anxiety symptoms, workplace stress, or repetitive negative thinking and include homework exercises to practice between meetings.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-focused awareness and stress-management skills. Mindfulness work can help with rumination, anxiety, and emotional regulation by training attention to the present moment and simple breathing or noticing practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Goals and techniques can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new issues arise.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments.
