Dr. Audni Miller , LCSW, LICSW

Dr. Audni Miller - pronounced Audnee - brings a grounded Texas perspective to therapy informed by years of varied professional experience. After time living in Ohio and Maine, she returned to Texas 13 years ago and worked as a civilian social worker and therapist supporting military clients. Now in private practice, she helps people navigate anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and questions about purpose, role, and identity.

Her work is client-centered, focusing on each person’s goals for a healthier, more satisfying emotional life. She draws from a range of therapeutic methods, including solution-focused therapy, cognitive-based techniques, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic talk therapy, psychoanalytically informed approaches, and sensorimotor psychotherapy to tailor care to individual needs.

Dr. Miller’s academic background spans 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 has carried those credentials into multiple careers across higher education, corporate training, and social work in both public and private settings. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW), she emphasizes active collaboration and believes that clients who engage fully in the process can open many pathways to meaningful change and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Audni Miller draws on evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns formed early in life and how they affect current connections; it is often helpful for intimacy-related concerns, attachment issues, and codependency. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and strengths, creating a collaborative space where the therapist supports self-exploration and decision-making; this approach is useful for self-esteem, life transitions, and clarifying values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Miller works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider which strategies feel most aligned with the client’s situation and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to access care from different locations and on varied schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible, while enabling licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, goal-oriented support.
