About Austin
Austin Jarrell is a licensed professional counselor with more than a decade of experience. She blends practical tools with plain talk to help people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and changes in family life. Austin keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth so people can make usable changes without getting lost in jargon.
Austin earned a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Austin Peay State University and has worked across Tennessee in clinical and community settings.
Background and approach
Before licensure she spent years doing case management with the Department of Children's Services and providing individual and group counseling for people recovering from substance use problems. That background informs how she approaches safety, routines, and real-world problem solving. Her style is client-centered and practical.
She listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are common tools she uses to break unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Motivational Interviewing also informs her work with folks trying to change addictive behaviors.
Austin is comfortable addressing a broad range of concerns including parenting stress, relationship conflict, workplace strain, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She treats each person as an individual and tailors strategies to fit their daily life. Sessions aim to feel useful every week rather than abstract.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and step-by-step planning tend to connect well with her approach. Austin helps clients identify manageable next steps, practice new skills, and track progress so change feels possible and steady.

Practical approaches for online progress
Austin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and what works right now, helping people move forward quickly without getting stuck on past problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Austin works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals and daily life. She listens to preferences and adjusts methods so each plan fits the client’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.
Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for regular check-ins and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging works for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone wants writing instead of talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and other obligations.
