About Audra

Audra Tate-Kennedy is a licensed counselor in Tennessee who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She brings 14 years of professional experience to sessions and centers the person’s own strengths when working toward change. Audra communicates in plain language and focuses on small, doable steps clients can use between meetings.

She draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her approach for people coping with traumatic memories and their ongoing effects. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are also used to help people build calm and find practical ways forward. Audra often helps people with family-related issues such as blended family challenges, family of origin concerns, and communication problems.

She also supports those dealing with codependency, intimacy-related questions, and women’s issues. Her work is centered on listening, clarifying goals, and tailoring concrete strategies to each person’s situation. Sessions are framed around collaboration.

Audra helps clients set short-term goals and track progress over time. She emphasizes skills people can use outside the session to cope with life changes and reduce daily stress. She offers sessions in English and provides a mix of formats to fit different needs.

Audra encourages people to reach out when they are ready to take a first step toward feeling better.

Online support

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Audra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that increase stress and anxiety. CBT offers practical exercises and simple homework to try between sessions and is often helpful for depression, worry, and coping with change.

She also incorporates EMDR for people who are processing traumatic memories and their lasting impact. EMDR involves focused techniques that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the thoughts and feelings connected to them.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Audra will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit those needs. She adapts methods over time so the approach stays practical and relevant to real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation that feels most like an in-person session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between meetings or a more gradual way to share what matters. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
