About Barbara Austin

Barbara Austin is a licensed clinician in South Carolina with two decades of professional counseling experience. She practices as an LISW-CP - a license that indicates an independent clinical social worker - and approaches each person’s story with attentive listening and a respectful curiosity about how life has been made to work so far. Her work centers on understanding patterns, meanings, and the practical strategies people use to cope, and then exploring additional perspectives that might broaden what is possible.

She partners with individuals to re-create, expand, or re-envision their personal narratives, bringing forward strengths, ideas, and possibilities that can create new experiences and responses to old difficulties. The therapeutic process she offers emphasizes discovery and the practical application of perspectives that may help replace or challenge distressing thoughts and feelings.

Seeking a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Barbara aims to provide steady support and empowerment for that journey. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered, inviting people to consider nuanced shifts in how they see themselves and their relationships while working toward meaningful change.
