About Auslyn
Auslyn Thomas is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who takes a practical, strengths-focused approach. She aims to meet people where they are and help them build a healthier, more chosen life. Her style is warm, interactive, and down-to-earth.
Thomas brings five years as a practicing LPC alongside a longer history in mental health settings. She has worked in community programs, residential care, and juvenile justice environments. That background informs her work with mood and anxiety concerns and crisis-related situations.
In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She adapts methods to what fits each person, focusing on practical steps rather than theory alone.
Thomas helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and money and financial issues. Additional areas she addresses include body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and multicultural concerns.
People meet a counselor who emphasizes collaboration and realistic goals. She works with children, adolescents, and adults and aims to use each person’s strengths to move toward clearer, manageable change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful action. It helps with anxiety, stress, and making life changes by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses concrete exercises to shift unhelpful habits. It can be useful for depression, panic, mood disorders, and money and financial worries that affect daily choices. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories by processing them in a structured way; it can help when past events continue to cause strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, or a mix of approaches is the best fit for each person.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins when a full in-person visit is not practical. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when needed, or choose shorter sessions to fit a break at work. Talk with the clinician about what will work best for practical needs and daily life.
