Dr. Audni Miller , LCSW, LICSW

Dr. Audni Miller introduces herself with a name that is pronounced "Audnee," a small detail that often helps people feel more at ease at the start of a conversation. She traces her roots to Texas and, after living in Ohio and Maine, returned to Texas 13 years ago to work as a civilian social worker and therapist serving military communities. Now in private practice, she sees people seeking support for anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and questions about purpose, role, and identity.

Her practice is grounded in a client-centered stance, which prioritizes each person’s goals for an emotionally healthy and satisfying life. Over the course of her career she has used a range of approaches including solution-focused therapy, cognitive-based techniques, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic talk therapy, psychoanalytically informed work, and sensorimotor psychotherapy to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Dr. Miller’s academic background includes a B.A. in English and Drama, an M.A. in Communication, a Ph.D. in Education, and a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW). She is credentialed as an LCSW and an LICSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and brings two decades of clinical experience to her work. Her experience across higher education, corporate training, and public and private social work informs a practical, compassionate approach that helps clients identify meaningful pathways for change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections. It helps people explore emotional bonds, attachment needs, and relationship dynamics that contribute to stress, intimacy concerns, or difficulty trusting others.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience and goals at the center of the work. In this approach the therapist offers empathic listening and collaborative support so clients can clarify values, make decisions, and build self-directed change for issues like anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Audni Miller works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods and techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual needs.
