Auslyn Thomas , LPC

Auslyn Thomas, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), combines a strengths-based perspective with practical therapeutic tools to help clients shape a life that feels meaningful and self-directed. She approaches each person as an individual - meeting them where they are and building on the resources they already bring - so therapy becomes a collaborative effort focused on realistic, sustainable change.

With five years of experience as a counselor in Tennessee, she supports people across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, and issues related to intimacy and sexual diversity such as BDSM and kink. Her work also addresses chronic pain and illness, body-image concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other areas of focus. She is experienced working with children, adolescents, and adults.

Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, and she uses an eclectic mix of approaches selected to match each client’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR when appropriate, tailoring techniques to what will work best for the individual. She emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and personal values to support meaningful progress and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

In her online practice, Auslyn Thomas draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in practical, values-driven ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn skills to act in alignment with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for depression, panic, and persistent worry. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy principles to create a warm, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Auslyn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to continue from home or other convenient locations, and can help maintain continuity of care during busy or changing periods of life.
