About Austin
Austin Jarrell is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She holds a Master’s degree in Community Counseling and practices from Tennessee as an LPC-MHSP. Austin takes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach and treats each person as an individual with unique needs.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and reach practical goals.
How Austin works
Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy also inform her style when exploring motivation and personal values. Sessions focus on concrete steps and honest conversation rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Austin has worked in community settings and with the Department of Children’s Services doing case management, in-home support, and group and individual counseling for people recovering from addiction.
That background shaped her practical, problem-solving orientation and comfort addressing family and parenting stresses. In sessions she aims to be casual, clear, and direct. People can expect to talk through current problems, practice new coping skills, and set short-term goals they can try between meetings.
The emphasis is on tools that fit each person’s life. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, workplace issues, self-esteem and life purpose questions. Austin helps people work through anger, guilt, impulsivity, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and supporting their own goals; the therapist listens closely and reflects what is important to the client, which helps with self-esteem and life purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress; sessions include practical exercises and tools people can use between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and is useful for substance use and habit-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Austin will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences, then shape sessions around what seems most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to try methods and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work break, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter updates or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
