About Auslyn

Auslyn Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with five years of experience as a therapist. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns such as codependency. She sees adults and works in English.

Her approach is practical and interactive. She builds on the strengths people already have and focuses on what can help now. Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations with specific skills and steps to try between meetings.

Auslyn uses several evidence-based methods to address problems like panic, depression, grief, and trauma reactions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. EMDR can be part of work on past trauma when appropriate.

She has worked in community, residential, and juvenile justice settings, and brings that background into practical problem solving. That experience shapes how she approaches conflict, safety concerns, and coping with change.

People who come for help with parenting strain, relationship patterns, or life transitions can expect concrete tools for setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and improving everyday functioning. Auslyn asks about goals early and adjusts approaches to fit what a person wants to accomplish.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Auslyn commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different responses in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If something is not working, adjustments are made together rather than sticking to a single plan.

The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online appointments can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, medical needs, or caregiving, and they can allow for shorter check-ins when that better matches a day. Therapists help people choose session timing and structure that work for their routine.
