Auslyn Thomas

Auslyn Thomas, LPC, uses a collaborative, strengths-based style to help people make meaningful change in their lives. She emphasizes working from where a person is now and building on existing strengths to create healthier patterns. Her tone in sessions is warm and down-to-earth, with an easy, non-judgmental presence that aims to put people at ease.

Thomas brings five years as a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee to her clinical work, along with longer experience in the mental health field. She has practiced in community, residential, and juvenile justice settings, which shaped her approach to practical problem solving and crisis support. She draws on that background when helping people navigate anxiety, mood difficulties, and trauma-related concerns.

Her practice focuses on common life challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, grief, and questions about life purpose and career. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and body image. Additional areas of attention include chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, immigration-related stress, and isolation.

Therapeutically she uses a mix of approaches to meet individual needs. Methods listed include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.

Sessions are conducted in English and based in Tennessee. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing concrete tools to change unhelpful habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on present life; it is often paired with grounding and stabilization work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust course as progress unfolds.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide use of ACT, CBT, or EMDR techniques effectively in remote sessions, while tailoring pacing and tools to individual circumstances.
