About Audra
Audra Schovan is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and brings both clinical hours and long personal experience raising and homeschooling a family. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
Audra focuses on practical, skill-focused therapy. She helps people identify what matters to them and then builds skills to reach the goals they set. Sessions include straightforward conversations about communication, boundaries, and coping techniques people can use day to day.
She also works with concerns around divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and workplace stress. Audra has an extensive history supporting victims of sexual abuse and people processing post-traumatic stress. Her approach is grounded in real-life problem solving rather than abstract theory.
Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people shift unhelpful thinking, practice present-moment awareness, and set achievable next steps. These tools are used in service of the goals a person brings to the room.
Audra describes the work as collaborative: she listens, offers direct skills, and adjusts plans as needs change. People who prefer clear steps and practical strategies tend to find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Audra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and gives concrete tools for testing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, and workplace strain.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and simple attention practices. These exercises help reduce rumination and make it easier to notice feelings like guilt or shame without immediately reacting.
Solution-Focused Therapy appears in short-term planning and goal-setting. This method looks for small, practical steps that move a person toward the outcome they want and tracks progress in an efficient way.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose which methods to try, based on their goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so sessions remain practical and relevant.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or for using audio-only meetings when video is not convenient.
