Dr. Audrey Berdeski, LPC

Dr. Audrey Berdeski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her professional life as a Doctor of Chiropractic before moving into counseling. Her background means she often approaches problems with both practical and personal attention.

She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She also helps with stress, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, life transitions, and concerns related to LGBT and family dynamics. Jealousy, infidelity, and communication problems are among the additional issues she supports people through.

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are personalized, and she adapts the conversation and plan to each person's needs.

Dr. Berdeski uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic ideas, existential themes, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness, and the Gottman Method elements for relationship work. She also draws on life-experience practices such as manifestation for abundance and energy work when appropriate to a client's goals.

She offers daytime weekday appointments and morning weekend slots. She also communicates with clients between sessions via daily-checked messaging and responds twice daily. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the listed availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Berdeski uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy as part of her online approach. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

She also incorporates existential ideas that help people find meaning and direction during major life changes. Those conversations look at values, choices, and how someone wants to shape their next steps. The therapist will collaborate with clients to determine which approaches fit best based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in sessions.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for more consistent follow-up between appointments. The therapist's practice includes scheduled daytime and morning weekend appointments and daily-checked messaging for brief between-session contact, which can help keep work moving between meetings.
