Dr. Audni Miller (pronounced Audnee) combines deep Texas roots with years of experience supporting people through change and recovery. After living in Ohio and Maine, she returned to Texas 13 years ago and served as a civilian social worker and therapist for the military before moving into private practice. Her work focuses on practical, compassionate support for those facing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions around purpose, role, and identity.

Dr. Miller offers care for a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, and relationship problems. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication challenges, control issues, divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, midlife crises, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, and women’s issues.

Her approach is client-centered, helping people clarify goals and build the skills and insight needed for a more emotionally healthy and satisfying life. Treatment methods she uses include cognitive-based therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic talk therapy, psychoanalytically informed techniques, and sensorimotor psychotherapy, applied in ways that fit each person’s circumstances.

Dr. Miller holds a B.A. in English and Drama, an M.A. in Communication, a PhD in Education, and a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW). She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - designations that reflect advanced training and authorization to provide clinical social work services. With 20 years of professional experience, she has worked across higher education, corporate training, public service, and social work settings. She has found that when clients engage fully in the process, therapy opens many pathways for meaningful change and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Miller draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more secure connections - it can be useful for attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and relationship challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and personal goals, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where individuals lead the work and the therapist supports growth and self-understanding - it helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Miller works collaboratively with clients to clarify needs, test interventions, and adjust the plan so the chosen strategies fit the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility to engage by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care across distances. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively provide these remote options to support ongoing progress and access to care.
