Audra D'Eliso, LPC

Audra D'Eliso is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona who helps people move beyond limiting beliefs and painful patterns toward more meaningful lives. With 13 years of experience in the mental health field, she works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and related mood and panic disorders. Audra blends practical skill-building with thoughtful exploration of life stories to identify behaviors and perceptions that keep clients stuck, then supports gradual change that aligns with their goals and values.

She brings extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and integrates mindfulness and narrative approaches as appropriate to each person. Her background includes work with veterans, first responders, and their families, which informs her understanding of stress reactions, trauma, and the demands of public safety roles. Audra emphasizes that therapy is a collaborative process - she partners with clients to set clear goals, practice coping strategies, and evaluate progress over time.

As an LPC, Audra holds a state license to provide professional counseling and uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each client s needs. Whether someone seeks help for an immediate crisis or a longer-term shift in life direction, she offers steady support, practical tools, and empathetic guidance to help them heal and grow.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Audra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns.

She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal strategies. DBT techniques can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Mindfulness-based approaches are integrated as needed to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices support coping with stress, improving focus, and fostering acceptance alongside active change work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Audra collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit work with a licensed professional into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow access from different locations within the therapist s practice area, and support continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
