About Ayanna

Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends relationship-focused work with practical strategies. She centers conversations on how people relate to others and to themselves, helping clients make steady changes that improve daily life and close connections.

She draws on approaches that look at attachment and relationships, and also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Ayanna aims to help people learn new habits and skills rather than rely on one single method.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people managing parenting challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career stress, and relationship struggles. Work may include identifying unhelpful patterns and building clearer communication and coping tools.

Ayanna has about 10 years of clinical experience and works with adults who want to change patterns in their close relationships and daily routines. She uses straightforward language and a warm, inviting manner in sessions. The approach encourages patience and gradual shifts rather than quick fixes.

Clients find practical steps are emphasized along with attention to underlying attachment and family patterns. Ayanna accepts international clients and offers therapy from Georgia in English, using formats that fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. In plain terms it helps people understand why certain patterns repeat and how to try new ways of connecting with others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and exploring what matters most to the client. It gives people space to set goals and decide the pace of change while the therapist follows their lead and reflects what they are experiencing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and routines that lead to distress, then testing and changing them through practical exercises. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ayanna will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the work stays useful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still using the chosen therapeutic approach.
