About Audrey Teshima

Audrey Teshima is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate relationship and life challenges. As an LMFT, she is trained to address patterns within relationships and family systems while also working directly with individuals on issues such as self-esteem, career concerns, grief, and stress. Her specialty areas include family and parenting struggles, co-parenting, relationship conflict, vocational and career difficulties, and coping with life changes including compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Her background spans private practice, community mental health and substance abuse clinics, and the elementary through high school environments, and she also brings extensive experience as a public school teacher to her clinical work. That mix of settings gives her practical insight into family dynamics, school-related concerns, and the ways vocational and personal roles intersect.

Audrey integrates Biblically based Christian principles when appropriate, offering gentle guidance that honors clients values while focusing on strengths. She aims to help clients process difficult emotions and develop more resourceful, resilient ways of living. Sessions emphasize collaboration, practical problem solving, and building hope so clients can move toward the goals that matter most to them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Family and Individual Care

Audrey commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own goals so clients feel heard and understood - it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and processing difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and practical problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Audrey works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from her training to match a client’s values and the realities of their life, including any faith-based perspectives they wish to include.

Online therapy with Audrey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
