About Austin
Austin Jarrell is a licensed professional counselor with a focus on practical, goal-oriented work. She uses straightforward language and a casual style to help people untangle parenting stress, addiction concerns, anxiety, depression, and everyday relationship problems. Austin aims to make sessions feel like a conversation rather than an exam, so parents can talk about what’s most pressing without jargon.
She holds a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Austin Peay State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Background and approach
Austin has 13 years of experience in mental health settings and earned her TN LPC-MHSP credential. That background included case management with the Department of Children’s Services and work providing individual and group counseling for people recovering from addiction. Austin often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients map problems and try concrete steps that can change daily life.
She also uses Client-Centered principles to listen and build realistic goals, and Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck about making changes. Sessions are collaborative and action-minded, with room for personal pacing. Parents will find direct guidance on communication, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges.
Austin also addresses adoption and foster care issues, young adult transitions, workplace stress, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her approach favors simple strategies that fit into busy family routines. She describes therapy as navigating an obstacle course together, focusing on what works in real life.
Austin helps people set clear steps and track small wins so progress is visible and practical.

Approach-based care for parents using online therapy
Austin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and strengths that can be used right away to improve parenting routines and daily coping.She also draws on Client-Centered ideas to listen closely and set goals that matter to each person. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; Austin works with clients to decide what fits their needs, goals, and pace. This collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful from the start.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing family schedules and other obligations.
