Austin Jarrell, LPC-MHSP

Austin Jarrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who brings 13 years of hands-on experience to therapy. She earned a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Austin Peay State University in 2010 after completing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Tennessee. She is direct and approachable in sessions and aims to make the process feel practical and down-to-earth.

Her background includes case management with the Department of Children’s Services and intensive in-home work supporting families and children. She has also provided individual and group counseling for people recovering from addiction. Those experiences shaped her straightforward style and belief that each person’s situation is unique.

Austin primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and she also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when helpful. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, and substance use concerns. Sessions are centered on clear goals and concrete steps rather than general talk alone.

People who prefer a casual, honest approach often find her style comfortable. She tends to avoid one-size-fits-all plans and instead works with each person to tailor strategies that match their life. Her practical focus is on what clients can do differently between sessions.

Austin practices in Tennessee and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Austin’s approaches translate to online work

Austin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and what’s already working, which can be useful for coping with life changes or relationship and parenting problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may mix approaches and adjust over time as progress and priorities change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum between sessions and apply strategies in day-to-day life.
