01About Augustina
Augustina Garba is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC and LPC, with more than two decades of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationship and intimacy concerns. She listens closely and aims to create clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.
She brings 21 years of clinical work that began in adult mental health and expanded to include people affected by childhood abuse.
Background and approach
That early exposure shaped her interest in trauma, mood disorders, and the long-term effects of abuse. She supports adults working through depression, post-traumatic stress, panic, and related symptoms. In sessions she combines approachable, skills-based methods.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on emotion-focused and mindfulness approaches to help people process painful feelings and stay present. Her practice includes focused work on relationship and communication problems, divorce and separation, blended family challenges, parenting strain, and anger.
She also helps people who struggle with self-esteem, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Augustina emphasizes collaboration. She offers concrete teaching, observable tools, and short assignments clients can try between meetings.
Her goal is to help people restore a sense of control and move toward lasting change. Sessions are offered from Wisconsin and are conducted in English. She has experience supporting adult survivors of childhood abuse and people navigating major life transitions.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change patterns that cause problems.Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let you work face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer appointments. These options aim to make it more practical to use therapy consistently and to try different formats to see what works best.
