Austria uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Austria helps people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and the ways past hurts shape current relationships. Sessions include straightforward skill work and reflective conversation. Practical tools from CBT and DBT are combined with person-centered listening.

She also supports people coping with abandonment, guilt and shame, caregiver stress, and immigration-related hardship. Trauma-related concerns and mood disorders are included in her practice.
Austria draws on mindfulness and acceptance strategies to build tolerance for difficult emotions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Treatment planning is collaborative and based on the issues a person brings to sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Her New York LMHC credential is displayed as LMHC. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's scheduling flow.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Online work uses the same core methods she practices in person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and test alternatives through small experiments and behavioral tasks. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape reactions; it can help with relationship communication, abandonment concerns, and emotional reactivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals and try techniques to see what fits, adjusting methods as needed. Sessions combine skill practice, reflection, and planning for real-life moments outside of sessions.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the session formats offered so you know how appointments are conducted. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to keep sessions during a work break or between commitments.
