About Audrey
Audrey Teshima is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting and co-parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, career stress, anxiety, grief, and family conflict. Audrey also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the practical strains that come with life changes.
She brings experience from private practice, community mental health and substance use clinics, and from many years as a public school teacher. That mix means she often combines straightforward conversation with practical problem-solving. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps that make daily life easier.
Audrey draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective and on cognitive behavioral methods that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing appears in work around career choices and behavior change.
Her approach can include discussing spiritual or faith-based values when clients want that included. She aims to work collaboratively to identify strengths and realistic options for change. That practical orientation is meant to help people feel more capable when facing hard conversations or stressful transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person’s perspective so they feel heard. Online sessions that use this approach prioritize clear, patient conversation and practical check-ins to track progress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes; it works well for anxiety, stress, and confidence issues because it breaks problems into concrete steps. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers short skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for relationship strain and strong stress reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what helps and what does not.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people find online conversations make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
