For those facing parenting strain, workplace stress, life transitions, or questions of self-worth, Austin emphasizes step-by-step progress.
Her work aims to reduce overwhelm and help people move forward on issues that matter most to them.
How Austin's approaches work online
Austin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete goals and what is already working, which can speed up progress on specific problems.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust plans together as things change. Austin uses Motivational Interviewing and client-centered listening when needed to support motivation and respect your pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates, try small steps between sessions, or check in during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules.
