Audrey Chen, LMHC

Audrey Chen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with a certificate in couples, marriage, and family counseling, and seven years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, ADHD, parenting challenges, anger management, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of life stressors. Her background also includes work with clients navigating identity and LGBTQ concerns, career and financial stress, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders.

Her approach centers on respect for each person’s expertise about their own life. She practices client-centered and strength-based therapy that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and building on existing resources. When clients prefer structured techniques, she integrates cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to offer practical skills and measurable steps. For those coping with trauma, she employs trauma-focused interventions tailored to each person’s history and readiness.

Audrey aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental partner in the work of change, helping clients clarify goals and try strategies that fit their values and day-to-day realities. She emphasizes shared decision-making so clients remain in control of the pace and direction of therapy, with the clinician serving as a guide and ally on the path toward healing and greater wellbeing.

Approaches for Online Healing and Relationship Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior; it helps people understand attachment needs and build more secure ways of connecting, which can be useful for relationship conflict, parenting concerns, and trauma-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead to uncover strengths and personal values, supporting work on self-esteem, life transitions, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the clinical process. Audrey works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to co-create a treatment path that feels helpful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
