Audra SchovanLCSW

Audra Schovan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Denver and combines clinical practice with over two decades of lived experience raising and homeschooling her family. Audra writes in a warm, straightforward way and invites people to bring what matters to them into sessions.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people clarify goals, build skills, and set steps they can use between visits. Sessions often focus on reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and managing major life changes. Audra also brings experience with trauma, abuse, and challenges arising from divorce and separation.

People looking for help with family conflict, parenting pressures, or feelings of isolation may find her style direct but compassionate. She emphasizes the client’s role as the expert on their life and works alongside them to test ideas and try new behaviors. Faith is a meaningful part of her life and informs her sense of purpose, though therapy centers on each person’s goals.

Audra uses evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps to build coping skills. She pays attention to shame, guilt, forgiveness, and relational patterns that keep problems stuck. Sessions are practical and action-oriented, with a focus on small, doable changes.

Her office is in Texas and she conducts work in English. People considering starting can expect a simple matching and scheduling process to get connected.

How Audra’s approaches translate to online work

Audra uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on manageable steps that can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These practices can help with stress, rumination, and emotional overwhelm.

Solution-focused therapy is part of her toolbox too. That approach emphasizes small, practical changes and building on what already works, so progress can be visible and reinforced quickly.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and daily life. Audra frames therapy as a team effort where the client’s priorities guide the plan.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. It can also let someone choose a quieter time, use audio only, or keep sessions brief when that suits their routine.
