Getting to know Audra Benavidez

Starting therapy is a courageous step, and I appreciate the opportunity to support you on this journey. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, ensuring our work aligns with your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma, providing a safe and compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow. Whenever you feel ready, I’m here to walk alongside you in a supportive and empowering way. I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Development from Lamar University, equipping me with knowledge and skills to provide effective, evidence-based care. Therapy with me means stepping into a space of warmth, understanding, and collaboration. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges at your own pace. Using a Person-Centered approach, I create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can be yourself. I meet you where you are, honoring your experiences and strengths while guiding you toward growth and healing. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns contributing to distress. Together, we explore connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, equipping you with practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Sessions with me are interactive, reflective, and tailored to your needs. Some days focus on processing emotions; others are more structured, working on specific skills or strategies. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, more self-aware, and empowered with tools to create meaningful change. Most importantly, therapy with me is a space where you are accepted as you are while being encouraged to grow. It’s a journey we take together, and I am here to guide you every step of the way.
