Austin Malone

Austin Malone is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 14 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, and coaching goals. He also addresses communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Austin focuses on practical conversations and clear steps. He treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

He draws on years of professional practice, including work on grief, loss, anger management, and executive coaching. That background informs a straightforward style that blends emotional support with problem-solving. The goal is to help people build skills they can use between sessions.

Austin tailors the dialogue and treatment plan to what each person needs. He encourages small, doable changes and supports clients as they try them out. He emphasizes collaboration and honest feedback throughout the work.

Seeking change takes courage, and he frames his role as a supporter and guide. People who want concrete strategies for daily life and clearer communication may find his approach helpful. If isolation or loneliness is part of the problem, he works with clients to rebuild connections and reduce social avoidance.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online work

Austin employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is structured problem solving, which breaks larger challenges into manageable steps and helps people practice new responses. This can be useful for stress, anger, and day-to-day decision making. Another approach focuses on coaching-style skill building, where conversations emphasize goal setting, accountability, and improving workplace or executive functioning. That work often targets planning, time management, and communication habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most useful, then adjusts the plan as goals and circumstances evolve. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach fits their needs and preferences.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people meet from different locations within the same state. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to confirm which formats are available and what will work best for your routine.
