Trauma + old survival patterns
Understand the reactions that once protected you and build responses that fit the life you have now.
Private-pay telehealth therapy · Idaho + Texas
Thoughtful, direct therapy for high-functioning adults who are tired of holding everything together while feeling disconnected underneath.
01 — A PLACE TO BEGIN
You handle the work, the family, the decisions, the things no one else sees. From the outside, you may look steady. Inside, you might feel guarded, restless, distant, or unsure how to say what you need.
Therapy does not have to mean endlessly circling the past. It can be a practical, honest place to understand what shaped you, recognize what is no longer working, and choose what comes next.
02 — HOW I CAN HELP
Understand the reactions that once protected you and build responses that fit the life you have now.
Work with distance, conflict, mistrust, and the push-pull between wanting connection and protecting yourself.
Make room for the anxiety, exhaustion, anger, or numbness hiding beneath competence and responsibility.

03 — ABOUT AUDREY
I’m Audrey N. Thomas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving adults in Idaho and Texas through telehealth. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and shaped by years of helping people through crisis, transition, relationship strain, and the quiet weight of being the strong one.
I will not treat you like a diagnosis or hand you a collection of clichés. We will pay attention to the whole story, make sense of the patterns, and do work that matters outside the therapy hour.
04 — A LITTLE MORE HUMAN
My Texas roots run eight generations deep, but these days I’m learning to call Idaho home, too. Outside the therapy room, I’m happiest with a book, a dog nearby, or somewhere outdoors—especially anywhere with mountains, water, and enough quiet to think.
I believe meaningful therapy can be serious without feeling sterile. Honesty matters, humor has a place, and you never have to perform or pretend to have it all together with me.
05 — COMMON QUESTIONS
I provide individual online therapy for adults located in Texas or Idaho. Many of my clients are capable, responsible people who feel overwhelmed, guarded, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of.
Individual sessions are $200 for 50 minutes. I am a private-pay provider and do not bill insurance directly.
Upon request, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan and is not guaranteed.
We will briefly discuss what is bringing you to therapy, what you hope will change, and whether my approach feels like the right fit. You do not need to arrive with the perfect words.
