About Audrey
Audrey Hajek is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into therapy. Sessions usually begin by listening to current struggles and goals.
Background and approach
From there she helps people set small, doable steps toward feeling more in control and less overwhelmed. Audrey draws on Client-Centered principles to make the room feel respectful and nonjudgmental. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
For those affected by past harm, she integrates trauma-focused methods to address how difficult events still show up today. Her style is practical and supportive. People can expect clear explanations of techniques and chances to practice new skills between sessions.
Audrey aims to make progress feel manageable, not rushed. She has four years of professional experience and holds a Virginia LCSW license. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online using a variety of formats to fit different schedules.
Combining practical approaches with online care
Client-centered therapy is about listening and following a person's pace. The therapist provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space and helps people identify their own strengths and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs empathy and clear support to make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives practical skills to use between appointments.
Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past harmful events affect current reactions and relationships. It involves careful, paced work to reduce the hold those memories have on everyday life. This helps people move from surviving toward feeling more present and in control.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Adjustments are made along the way so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines, while still focusing on clear, practical progress.
