About Austine
Austine Nwaobi is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with five years of practice. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and depression. He treats concerns like panic disorder and panic attacks as part of broader mood and anxiety work. Austine aims to meet people where they are and speaks English for all sessions.
He uses a tailored, conversational approach rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions center on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. He listens for what is working and adjusts the dialogue and plan as needs change.
Common topics he addresses include control issues, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and challenges such as paranoia or personality-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with self-harm thoughts and those working on self-love and confidence. When panic or sudden anxiety comes up, he helps people break down what’s happening and practice coping strategies.
Austine blends several approaches to suit different concerns, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. He emphasizes respect and sensitivity in each interaction and aims to empower people to make changes they choose.
To begin working together, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online work
Austine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in a straightforward, practical way. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s goals and uses empathic listening to shape the pace and focus of sessions.He may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are important. DBT skills teach grounding techniques, breathing or attention exercises, and step-by-step ways to handle overwhelming feelings. Together these approaches give tools for managing panic, improving mood, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.
