Augustina Garba

Augustina Garba is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC and LPC, with more than 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anger, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting stress. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at helping clients find calmer, more manageable ways to handle daily challenges.

Augustina earned a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater in 2002. Early in her career she worked with adults experiencing serious mental illness and during her internship she supported children who had experienced severe abuse and neglect. Those experiences shaped her interest in trauma recovery and in helping people rebuild trust in themselves.

In private practice since 2009, she sees individuals and provides therapy that tackles anger management, relationship problems, grief, and post-traumatic stress. She often supports people recovering from childhood abuse and those coping with mood disorders and life transitions. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Her sessions combine listening with teaching. Clients can expect tangible exercises and homework designed to build skills between sessions. Augustina aims to create a steady, reliable relationship with people so they can try new responses to old problems.

She practices in Wisconsin and works in English. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward meaningful actions. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and when someone wants clearer priorities in life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the person’s own problem-solving. This approach helps people feel heard and begin to trust their own choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new responses. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management because it offers concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans can shift over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and offer a shorter check-in when a full session isn’t needed. Many people find it helpful to combine skill practice from CBT or ACT with the steady listening of Client-Centered work while meeting remotely.
