About Auslyn
Auslyn Thomas is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Tennessee. She holds an LPC credential and brings five years of direct clinical experience as a therapist. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to meet people where they are to build on existing strengths. She uses Somatic Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work.
Background and approach
In sessions she blends talking with attention to felt experience in the body. That combination can help when anxiety, panic, grief, or past trauma show up as physical tension or distress. Auslyn has worked across community, residential, and juvenile justice settings earlier in her career.
That background informs how she supports people facing mood and behavioral challenges, crisis situations, or complex life changes. She also has experience addressing issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness or pain, and identity-related concerns including LGBT matters. People who seek her help often want practical steps and real listening.
She helps clients develop tools for emotion management, communication, and coping with life transitions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in each person’s goals and values. Her practice accommodates several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
Approaches used online and how they help
Auslyn draws on Somatic Therapy to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body, using gentle attention to breath, posture, and bodily sensation alongside verbal reflection. This can be useful for anxiety, panic, chronic pain, and the physical aftereffects of trauma.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work and emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and respected.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods over time. Sessions are collaborative and meant to fit each person's needs rather than follow a fixed plan.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats let people engage from home, use shorter check-ins or longer sessions, and choose the way of communicating that suits their schedule and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt somatic and evidence-informed techniques to online work to support coping, emotional skills, and practical problem solving.
