About Auslyn

Auslyn Thomas, LPC, uses an interactive, person-centered approach to help people make practical changes in their day-to-day lives. She focuses on building from the strengths a person already has and meets clients where they are. Her style is straightforward and warm, with an emphasis on collaboration and respect.

She has five years as a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee. Her background includes work in community, residential, and juvenile justice settings.

Background and approach

This range of settings shaped how she helps people who face anxiety, mood struggles, and life disruptions. Auslyn helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship issues. She also works with trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her practice includes attention to LGBT issues, ADHD, bipolar disorders, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses include body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, immigration-related stress, and isolation or loneliness. She also supports people navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way.

Her therapeutic toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered methods. Sessions are conversational and practical, with skills and strategies tailored to each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live toward what matters to them. It uses practical exercises to clarify values and build small, meaningful changes when anxiety or stress get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and keep progress between meetings. These formats support consistent care for people juggling parenting, work, or other responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
