About Avis
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 10 years of experience, Avis Augustine-Miller helps people navigate depression, trauma and LGBT concerns. She also supports clients facing life transitions and offers professional and executive coaching. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice reflects a focus on individual strengths and practical steps forward.
Avis approaches work by asking what matters to each person and building on what already works for them. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and uses that knowledge to set clear, actionable goals. Conversations tend to focus on coping strategies, communication patterns, and practical ways to manage mood and stress.
Her background includes a decade of clinical and coaching roles that brought her experience with military-related issues and veteran concerns. She has worked with people affected by sexual assault, postpartum challenges, and attachment or relationship difficulties. That range informs a straightforward style that links daily problems to changeable habits and patterns.
Avis pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT and multicultural concerns. She helps people who struggle with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose to find clearer direction. Work may include short-term coaching goals or longer discussions about trauma processing and mood management.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is work that targets coping skills and behavior change, which helps with mood disorders and everyday stress by introducing small, concrete habits to try. Another is trauma-informed care that focuses on safety, pacing, and grounding strategies to manage post-traumatic stress and effects of abuse.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each client to identify goals and then tries approaches that fit those goals. That means methods can shift over time as needs and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins that work around work or family obligations. Licensed professionals often use a mix of longer weekly sessions and briefer appointments for focused coaching, so discuss what will fit your schedule when you complete the matching questionnaire.
