About Audrey
Audrey Heble is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 22 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, and trauma. She meets each person with respect and compassion and focuses on practical steps that address daily struggles.
Background and approach
Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to manage hard moments. She adapts sessions to fit what the client needs that week.
Some weeks involve problem-solving and skill practice. Other times the work centers on understanding painful patterns and repairing what feels broken.
She helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and find clearer ways to communicate. Her approach draws from several methods, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools for shifting thoughts and behaviors, and emotion-focused work to strengthen connection and safety.
She also uses ideas from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills when emotions run high, and from existential therapy to address purpose and meaning. Audrey explains options in plain language and collaborates on a plan that fits each person’s goals.
Sessions can include conversational check-ins, guided exercises, or homework to practice new skills between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel useful and applicable to everyday life.
People who reach out will complete a brief questionnaire to help match goals and schedule. Audrey offers sessions in English and works with clients located in California.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps build self-directed goals that feel realistic and meaningful.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete strategies and short exercises to practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships get stuck.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to focus on what matters most to you.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit life demands. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, quick skill refreshers, or when a shorter format is more practical. These options make it easier to attend regularly and keep progress moving forward.
