About Audrey
Audrey Gallas is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 4 years of professional experience. She supports adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma or abuse, grief, and depression. Audrey also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic illness or pain, isolation, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She works in straightforward, conversational sessions where people can talk through what feels heavy. Sessions invite practical talk about current challenges and small steps that can change how people cope day to day. Audrey aims for clarity and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes clinical social work practice in Michigan. Audrey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress responses, mood shifts, and trauma reactions. She draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, practice new responses, and manage symptoms between sessions.
In the room she pays attention to relationships and early attachment patterns when those help explain current struggles. She also helps people who are dealing with loss or ongoing health challenges to plan realistic coping strategies. Conversations often link past experiences to present feelings so people can decide what to try next.
Audrey invites clients to set clear goals and to adjust pace as needed. Her work is collaborative and focused on practical tools - for example, breathing and grounding for anxiety, routines for depression, and communication skills for relationship strain. The overall aim is to make daily life more manageable while addressing deeper sources of pain, including guilt and shame.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Audrey draws on evidence-based techniques that help with anxiety, mood, and trauma symptoms. One common approach she uses focuses on noticing patterns in thinking and behavior, then practicing small changes to reduce distress and improve coping. This kind of work is useful for social anxiety, guilt, shame, and day-to-day stress.A second approach emphasizes grounding and skills for managing strong emotions. These practical exercises are short and repeatable, so people can use them between sessions when anxiety or panic rises. They are often paired with simple routines to support mood and energy during recovery from loss or chronic illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust methods over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow a quick check-in during a break, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy slot into everyday life without adding extra strain.
