Audrey Gallas, LMSW, LICSW

Audrey Gallas is a licensed social worker in Michigan with four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression, offering steady support as clients navigate these concerns. Audrey emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed safely and honestly, and she partners with clients to explore practical ways to move toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Audrey holds the credentials LMSW and LICSW - LMSW denotes a Licensed Master Social Worker and LICSW denotes a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - reflecting her training and clinical qualifications. She recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and she is committed to walking alongside clients through that process, helping them build coping skills and find clarity as they work toward their goals. Her approach centers on collaboration, empathy, and consistent support to help clients address immediate concerns and foster lasting change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Audrey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and personal insight. One approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging strategies that help reduce immediate distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed support and grief work - providing paced, compassionate methods to process painful experiences and develop healthier coping responses. Both approaches are grounded in clinical training and adapt to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video sessions can recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simple option when video is not preferred, and live chat or text messaging allow more frequent check-ins and flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
