Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Austin uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to help people make changes they can notice in daily life. One approach focuses on improving communication and problem-solving in relationships - it teaches specific ways to talk about hard topics and to resolve repeated conflicts. Another strand of her work addresses intimacy and sexual concerns, offering practical steps to rebuild connection and manage sexual dysfunction or alternative sexual practices without judgment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then pick methods that match those needs. That collaboration helps keep sessions focused and relevant to each person's life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful when nonverbal cues matter, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit counseling into busy days and across time zones.
