About Augustina
Augustina Garba is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress and relationship struggles. She speaks English and practices in Wisconsin. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and easy to understand for busy parents and adults.
She begins by listening closely to what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on concrete steps clients can use between meetings. She emphasizes clear communication and small, doable changes rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Augustina draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape interactions. She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. Mindfulness and client-centered techniques are woven into sessions to keep work grounded and collaborative.
Her background includes early work in adult mental health and experience with survivors of childhood abuse. Over time she has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting stresses, grief, eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She offers practical tools for mood and impulse challenges and support around family and communication problems.
Augustina uses a blend of teaching, listening, and short assignments so clients can practice outside sessions. She strives to build a steady, reliable relationship with each person and to help them find clearer ways forward.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close interactions and helps people and partners change unhelpful patterns by addressing underlying needs and fears. It can be useful for relationship strains, intimacy issues, and repair work.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, mood struggles, and motivation to change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It usually involves practical exercises and homework to build new habits for mood and impulse control.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will check in with clients about what feels helpful and adapt techniques to their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits each person’s life.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing connection between longer appointments.
