About Auslyn
Auslyn Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, mood concerns, trauma and relationship difficulties. Auslyn uses practical, down-to-earth talk to help people find clearer choices for how they live and relate to others.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and client-centered methods. Sessions often focus on skills for managing strong feelings, reducing reactivity, and making values-based decisions. Auslyn helps clients notice patterns, try new responses, and learn strategies they can use outside of sessions.
Her background includes work in community, residential, and juvenile justice settings. That experience informs a practical style that emphasizes straightforward tools and real-world problems. She has worked with issues like trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, behavioral concerns, and crisis situations.
Auslyn also offers support around parenting stresses, grief and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, burnout and compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to sexuality and alternative sex culture. She respects cultural differences and brings attention to multicultural and immigration-related stresses that affect daily life.
People can expect an interactive, nonjudgmental approach focused on what helps in their everyday life. To begin, the typical next step is to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and is often useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits for problems like panic, depression, and worry. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with memories and bodily reactions to reduce the intensity of traumatic reminders.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to use ACT, CBT, EMDR, DBT skills, or a combination that fits the person’s needs.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking since session types are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also allow people to use methods like skills coaching, structured CBT exercises, or EMDR protocols adapted for remote delivery, depending on the agreed format and client needs.
