Solution Oriented Counseling PLLC

Therapy isn’t as scary as you may think

Hello! My name is Austin Garceau, and I am the owner of Solution Oriented Counseling, located in South Asheville, NC. Seeking help can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling everything on your own or have never tried therapy before.

As an adult therapist in Asheville and Arden, NC, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely understood—without judgment or pressure. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing while working toward meaningful, realistic change.

My main goal is to help you build the tools, skills, and confidence you need to navigate life’s challenges independently. Ultimately, I want to help you reach a point where you feel equipped to handle life’s ups and downs without needing therapy forever.

Hi, I’m Austin Garceau, M.A., LCMHCS, LCASA, and I am a licensed mental health counselor serving Asheville and Arden, NC. I provide practical, compassionate counseling for adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, substance use, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I use a person-centered and solution-oriented approach to help clients move from feeling stuck toward creating meaningful change. Together, we identify what is working, what may be getting in the way, and practical steps you can take toward your goals.

I bring a direct, warm, and humorous style to therapy. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overwhelming. My goal is to create a comfortable space where you can be honest, feel heard, and work toward realistic changes that fit your life.
