Augustina Garba, LPCC, LPC

Augustina Garba is an LPCC and LPC in Wisconsin with 21 years of counseling experience. She holds a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. She works with adults and with children and teenagers in ways described in her background, including anger-related concerns and relationship difficulties.

She began her career supporting adults with severe mental illness and spent internship time working with children who experienced serious neglect and abuse. Those early experiences shaped her interest in helping people affected by trauma and family conflict. Over time she moved into private practice and broadened her caseload to include survivors of childhood abuse and people coping with mood and anxiety issues.

Her practice includes work on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating concerns, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. Relationship topics she covers include communication problems, commitment and separation concerns, blended family issues, and forgiveness. Anger and impulsivity are specifically named among her focus areas.

Augustina describes a practical, collaborative way of working. She listens, teaches skills, and gives tangible assignments clients can try between sessions. She aims to restore people’s sense of agency and to reduce problems that pile up after trauma, such as panic, PTSD symptoms, or persistent stress.

She provides individual and family therapy in her practice and has experience counseling couples about relationship strain and separation. People who want structured skill work and clear next steps may find her direct, consistent approach useful.
