Audra Schovan

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 experience with more than two decades of parenting and homeschooling in her personal life. Audra invites people to bring their concerns and to decide, together, which goals matter most.

Audra focuses on common life struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also helps people facing family conflict, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, and workplace challenges. Additional concerns she addresses include divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, sexuality, social anxiety, and phobias.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Audra emphasizes skill-building so people can use tools between meetings. She centers the person’s own priorities and works step by step toward the goals they set together.

Sessions balance structured techniques and present-moment awareness. Audra uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts, manage emotional reactions, and move toward small, achievable steps.

She aims to make the process straightforward and respectful. Audra encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change so the plan can shift as goals evolve.

How Audra's approaches translate to online work

Audra regularly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes practical exercises and short experiments to try between sessions, which can be discussed and adapted online to fit daily life.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can be guided in sessions and practiced at home, with follow-up discussion about what felt useful.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her work as a way to set small, concrete goals and track progress. This approach looks for immediate next steps and what is already working, which pairs well with brief check-ins and action-oriented planning.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Audra will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods if something isn’t helping. The aim is to test what works and keep what helps the person move forward.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow people to meet from different places. It also allows for shorter check-ins or more focused, skills-based visits when that fits a person's schedule.
