Angel Austin
I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations. I have worked in a variety of settings providing mental health care to individuals and families. Open and honest therapy is what I offer. No matter the issue, your feelings are of value to you and sometimes this is hard to decipher what you are dealing with on your own. Getting through a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars, you have to let go at some point to move forward. If you change nothing, nothing will change and I try to provide clarity to issues that may be troubling. Physical health and mental health work hand in hand. Therapy can assist with understanding that a balanced life begins with a healthy mind. Providing a safe place for feelings is a goal for providing therapeutic intervention that helps you feel comfortable.
First session
I would begin by making sure the client feels comfortable in the virtual space. Confirm audio/video is working Normalize any awkwardness (“It’s completely okay if this feels a little different at first — we’ll settle in together.”) Briefly explain how online sessions work (privacy, what to do if connection drops, etc.) I want to help the client exhale and feel safe.
Strengths
My therapeutic style naturally integrates both: CBT gives structure, skills, and measurable change - REBT gives philosophical depth and emotional freedom. Together, we will help you as the client: Challenge distorted thoughts, Replace irrational beliefs, Build healthier coping patterns, Strengthen emotional resilience, Develop self‑acceptance and flexibility My approach is warm, direct, and empowering — clients feel guided, not judged.
Ideal clients
I guide clients through career transitions and work–life balance with a blend of clinical skill, mentorship, and grounded compassion. My approach is structured enough to give direction, but warm enough to make people feel safe exploring big life changes. Here’s how I typically navigate this work as a therapist. I let the client be open an honest without fear of judgment.
Treatment methods
Biofeedback
Gaining insight into the underlying emotions and internal experiences helps clarify the client’s core needs, allowing treatment to be more targeted and meaningful.
