About Austine

Austine Nwaobi centers his work on cognitive behavioral strategies while blending other evidence-informed methods to address mood and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience as an LMHC licensed in Florida (FL LMHC MH26416), he focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. His approach adapts CBT techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while integrating skills from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered methods when helpful.

He pays attention to patterns such as control issues, impulsivity, isolation, panic attacks, paranoia, personality concerns, and self-harming behaviors, and supports clients seeking greater self-love and motivation. Austine emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions and collaborates with each person to design treatment that reflects their individual needs.

He frames the decision to pursue change as a courageous step and aims to empower clients as they work toward clearer goals and improved emotional balance.

Approach-informed online therapy for mood and emotional skills

Clients can expect work grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered principles alongside skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and understood as they explore goals and values. DBT contributes concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that are useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and distress tolerance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist approaches that choice collaboratively. He will work with clients to clarify goals, consider preferences, and adjust methods over time to find what best supports progress and coping in everyday life.

The practice offers flexible online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible across different schedules and locations. These options allow for regular skill work, check-ins, and reflective conversations without requiring in-person visits, helping people fit therapeutic work into busy or dispersed lives.
