About Rosetta

Dr. Rosetta Parker-Austin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience practicing in Georgia. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, self-esteem and career-related issues. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, coaching needs, and challenges related to identity and relationships including LGBT concerns and guilt and shame.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. She uses conversational, practical sessions to identify what feels stuck and what small changes could matter. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clearer thinking rather than long academic explanations.

Dr. Parker-Austin draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and experiment with different responses. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused work to listen for what matters most and to strengthen emotional awareness.

People bring a lot of different struggles into the room - caregiving stress, money worries, control issues, or loneliness after loss. She helps people break those problems into manageable steps and practice skills between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can try outside of sessions.

Her background includes two decades of counseling work and experience with professional coaching. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Georgia. If someone is unsure how to begin, she guides them through the first scheduling and matching steps so they can pick a starting point.

How her therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters to them. It often uses short experiments and values-based actions to reduce the hold of shame or guilt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to test unhelpful beliefs and shift responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the original profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from different locations. If a person needs help deciding which session style suits their schedule or comfort, the therapist will go over the choices during the matching and scheduling steps.
