Austin Jarrell, LPC-MHSP

Austin Jarrell is a licensed professional counselor with thirteen years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship concerns. 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. Austin brings a direct and down-to-earth style to sessions and treats each person as an individual with unique challenges.

Her background includes work with the Department of Children’s Services and hands-on case management in mental health. She has provided individual and group counseling for people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction and has supported families through difficult transitions. These roles shaped her practical approach to solving problems and supporting change.

Austin leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy while also using Client-Centered techniques and Motivational Interviewing when helpful. In practice this means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and focus on realistic next steps toward goals like improved relationships or reduced substance use.

She is comfortable addressing issues such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, jealousy, impulsivity, workplace problems, and questions about life purpose. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in everyday life rather than one-size-fits-all fixes.

Based in Tennessee, Austin conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Austin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or depression and then try small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical next steps and short-term goals so clients can build momentum and solve immediate problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Austin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit those priorities. The process is collaborative, and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely helps them practice new skills in real life while keeping therapy flexible around work and family obligations.
