About Auslyn
Auslyn Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She brings five years of hands-on counseling experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the ups and downs of parenting. She works in a direct, warm style.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Auslyn listens for strengths and builds practical steps clients can use between sessions. The tone is down-to-earth rather than clinical.
Her background includes work in community and residential settings and with juvenile justice populations.
Background and approach
That experience informs how she helps people who have faced trauma, abuse, or crisis. She is familiar with mood disorders, panic, bipolar concerns, and problems with anger and grief. Auslyn uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs rather than a single fixed approach.
She commonly draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and somatic tools. EMDR may be part of work for people processing traumatic memories. She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters, and body image or sexuality topics including BDSM and kink culture.
Practical concerns like career stress, money worries, chronic illness, and parenting challenges are part of her caseload. Sessions are offered in English through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the client.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values while reducing the hold of painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach aimed at processing distressing memories so they have less emotional charge.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, past experiences, and what feels workable. This process is guided by conversation and short experiments rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for deep conversations and real-time exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when video would add strain or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, skill practice, and on-the-go support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.
