About Audra
Audra Tate-Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, family problems, and women's issues as additional focus areas.
Audra works in a direct, practical way. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different approaches. Sessions often include straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and grounding during hard moments.
She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma or painful memories are involved, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals. That mix lets her address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns that affect home life.
People see her to sort through conflicts at home, improve communication, and handle changes like blended-family dynamics or grief. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and works together with them to test what helps. Practical steps and small experiments are common in sessions.
Audra asks prospective clients to use the site flow to choose online options, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Audra uses clinical approaches in online work
Audra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions tend to include practical exercises and short homework tasks to test new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship habits.She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories. EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of distressing memories so they interfere less with everyday life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, personal preferences, and what feels manageable, then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counseling around family and work routines, shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and fewer travel demands. Therapists can adapt techniques like mindfulness, CBT exercises, and EMDR-informed processing to remote sessions, and Audra will help decide which methods suit daily life and goals.
